MEF: Don't hire refugees until legal framework in place

PETALING JAYA: Employers should not hire refugees until the proper legal framework is put in place by the Government, said Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan.

"We are in agreement with the Government that refugees should not work, and holding the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) card is not a licence to be employed.
