KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 — Putrajaya has yet to decide on calls to let the Prime Minister's Office or the prime minister take charge of the recruitment of foreign workers.

“This proposal also urges for the department which is managing this foreign workers' intake to be chaired by the prime minister and led by a former judge, chief executive officer or retired senior civil servant. However, there is no decision yet from the government regarding this proposal,” the ministry said.

The Human Resources Ministry said the Cabinet had agreed to realign such management starting from January 15 this year. In a separate parliamentary reply, the Human Resources Ministry yesterday said there are no plans to exempt employers from paying levies on foreign workers. Nik Zawawi had asked why the government had not given an exemption on foreign workers' levy to the plantation sector when plantation operating costs had allegedly increased by 10 to 20 per cent after the Covid-19 pandemic.
