PETALING JAYA: Employers who want their foreign workers to be accredited as skilled workers in order to extend their employment tenures are currently creating undue problems for the Immigration Department by submitting the applications for skills training at the eleventh hour.
Immigration Department Director-General Datuk Mohd Jamal Kamdi said some employers had even submitted the applications three months before their employees work permits expired for them to be trained and accredited by the Construction Industry Development Board or Human Resources Development Bhd.
