Following reports that nearly 39,000 jobs were lost in the first five months of 2026, SME Association of Malaysia President, Dr. Chin Chee Seong, highlighted that the retrenchment trend reflects the growing challenges faced by Malaysian SMEs.

According to feedback from SME members, many businesses are struggling with weak consumer demand, rising operating costs, supply chain disruptions, increasing financing expenses, and intense competition from imported products and foreign online platforms.

"Companies do not reduce manpower when business is good. They do so when margins are squeezed and future orders are uncertain," said Dr. Chin.

To help businesses retain workers and remain competitive, the SME Association of Malaysia is calling for a comprehensive SME Stability and Competitiveness Package, including:

โ€ข Employment retention and wage support measures
โ€ข Low-interest working capital financing
โ€ข Rental and utility relief assistance
โ€ข Stronger enforcement against unfair trade practices
โ€ข Support for SMEs affected by foreign competition
โ€ข Simplified access to training, automation and digitalisation incentives

Dr. Chin also stressed that retrenchment should not be viewed solely as a labour issue, but as a broader business sustainability challenge.

"If SMEs are not supported to remain competitive, job losses will continue."

The Association remains committed to advocating policies that strengthen SMEs, safeguard employment, and ensure sustainable business growth for Malaysia's economic future.

KUALA LUMPUR: The latest retrenchment figures reflect growing pressure on businesses, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), driven by weak consumer demand, rising costs and intensifying competition, the SME Association of Malaysia said.
