crisis blew up in September and nearly twice as many

workers could lose their jobs this year as struggling

manufacturers cut output.

Malaysia lost 33,000 jobs in 2008, the bulk of them in the last

few months as the global crisis suddenly worsened and Asia’s key

export markets in the West slipped into recession.
