PROMPT ACTION TO BRING IN FOREIGN WORKERS EASING BOTTLENECKS FACED BY BUSINESSES, SAYS MALAYSIAN EMPLOYERS FEDERATION
The prompt action to bring 373,459 foreign workers into the country via visa by reference based on employers' applications from January to Dec 4, 2022 has eased the bottlenecks faced by businesses in their daily operations, and assist them to meet their business requirements. The said figures are part of the overall 403,869 applications received by the Immigration Department. Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said the assurance given by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail - that the remaining 30,410 employers' applications for foreign workers will be processed and be considered for approval within seven working days - is indeed very assuring. "It shows Saifuddin's seriousness in addressing the issues faced by employers due to shortages of foreign labour."
