THE freeze on foreign workers’ applications will affect the country’s productivity and gross domestic product, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers president Soh Thian Lai said. He said the sudden decision by the government to stop all applications and approvals for foreign workers from March 18 will deprive companies of orderbook fulfilments, especially for export markets.
“The government cannot make a flip-flop decision and suddenly freeze any government policy because this will affect the recruitment process, especially at small and medium enterprises” whose sales are only now improving, he told reporters after launching the Skill for Prosperity Programme in Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur today. – Bernama, April 11, 2023.
