Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail urged employers to pay attention to the legal aspects related to accommodation, working hours and wages of their foreign workers. — Bernama picKUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — The level of compliance among employers who hire foreign workers in this country, in terms of looking after the welfare and interests of workers, is still not satisfactory, with the service sector recording the highest number of violations of the law.
“Failure to do so may cause the regulatory agency to carry out an investigation and if it is related to the violation of certain sections and laws, it may lead to investigation papers being opened and ending up in court.” Saifuddin said the level of compliance of employers who employ foreign workers is monitored by the inspectorate following the government’s move to implement a relaxation plan and recalibration policy at the beginning of this year to make it easier for employers to employ foreign workers.He said the four other sectors that were also inspected are the construction, agriculture, plantation and manufacturing sectors.
He said that there are quotas of recruitment that have been approved but the foreign workers have not yet been brought in and this is in line with the policy set by the Ministry of Economy which is that the number of foreign workers in the country cannot exceed 2.4 million by 2025.
