    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 4. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare recommends that Clause 4 be deleted for the reason that there is no proper justification for the Industrial Levy to fund other programmes that are not work place-related such as TVET and HELB. The Industrial Training Act is an Act of Parliament relating to the regulations of training of persons engaged in industry which is supported by the Industrial Training Levy which is an employer’s money. The Industrial Training Levy Fund works better if utilised for workplace trainings to increase productivity of staff. Therefore, it is a deduction that focuses on training capacity of staff. The distribution of levy collected to other institutions will then undermine the essence of having an Industrial Training Levy Fund."
