BINTULU: The government has approved some 14,000 applications to recruit migrant construction workers but response from foreign workers themselves has been quite slow, says Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said the Human Resources Ministry had also signed agreements with Bangladesh and Indonesia to bring in their citizens to work in Malaysia."There is approval but so far they are not being taken up. Maybe currently there are lots of employment opportunities as they have lots of programmes in the pipeline.
The tour, organised by the Works Ministry, runs from June 9-11 and is aimed at reviewing the latest developments of the Sarawak Pan Borneo Highway construction project, crossing through the Kuching, Bintulu, Sibu and Miri districts.
