KUALA LUMPUR: Several groups have slammed the Government’s “sudden” decision to outsource the renewal of the Foreign Workers Permits (PLKS) to MyEG – and the additional RM38 per worker charge that comes with it.

Employers, they said, were taken by surprise when told that renewals could not be done at Immigration Department counters effective Jan 5.
