WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland said on Thursday it will join international efforts to help keep the Olympic Games in France safe by sending troops, including sniffer dog handlers, as organizers prepare for the major security challenge.

PETALING JAYA: Restaurant owners and other businesses have made a last-ditch plea for the government to extend this Sunday’s deadline for Visa With Reference applications for foreign workers.

In a statement yesterday in which Govindasamy noted was put together with 22 other organisations, he said that many foreigners working in restaurants would be completing their three-year contracts at the end of this month and they do not intend to resume their job here. Govindasamy also appealed to the government to consider raising the age limit for VDR applications for workers who are 55 years old.

This would allow employers time to go through the proper hiring channels and bring in suitable workers, he said.
