The requirement for foreign workers to have valid work permits in order to be re-employed defeats the overall purpose of redeployment, said the Malaysian Employers Federation .

“MEF supports the government’s decision to allow the re-employment of foreign workers still in the country and who are no longer required by their existing employers. It was reported that the MOHR had given employers the flexibility to hire foreign workers laid off by previous employers if they do not get any response from local workers. However, it urged employers to give priority to locals when filling these vacancies.
