(Reuters) - Premier League clubs will vote on whether to drop video assistant referees (VAR) from next season after Wolverhampton Wanderers submitted a resolution on Wednesday, citing the 'negative consequences that damage the relationship between fans and football'.
PETALING JAYA: Foreign workers coming into Malaysia should undergo mandatory health screening in their own country that is similar to the one carried out by Fomema to strengthen the nation’s health safety net against communicable diseases, says the Association of Employment Agencies Malaysia .
He said he personally experienced a situation where two foreign domestic workers, who had passed their health screening at the source country, failed their Fomema screening due to the presence of inactive communicable diseases. Tan said both employers and local employment agencies would have to incur extra cost and time to make a fresh application for a replacement helper in such a situation.
According to Fomema, a total of 6,413 cases of tuberculosis, 3,347 of Hepatitis B, 960 syphilis, 447 HIV, 22 malaria and three cases of leprosy were detected among foreign workers in the country in 2023. She suggested that employers be given the freedom to choose their medical provider for the pre-departure medical screening of foreign workers.
“Employers here will not know who the employment agents are at the source countries or the medical facilities that carry out the health screenings,” he said.
