Home minister: Employers must bear costs of bringing in foreign workers

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 26 — Employers who are interested in hiring foreign workers will have to bear all the costs involved in bringing them into Malaysia, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

On October 22, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the Covid-19 Pandemic Management Special Committee which he chaired had approved the standard operating procedures for the entry of foreign workers to meet the needs of the plantation sector and subsequently, other sectors. “The government has generated RM71 million through the compounds collected,” he said adding that special counters were opened to facilitate their return via several exit points namely KLIA, klia2, Stulang Laut and Pasir Gudang in Johor.

Hamzah said one of the reasons for failure under the Workforce Recalibration Programme was the age limit factor as those who wish to work in Malaysia must be below 45 and they are allowed to work until the age of 55.
