IDs for foreign workers in construction sector proposed


BUTTERWORTH: Foreign workers in the construction industry should be issued with special identification cards to enable the authorities to have better control over them.

The cards should be made mandatory so that the enforcement agencies would be able to differentiate between the legal and illegal workers, said Malaysian Malay Contractors Association deputy president Datuk Mohamed Fadzill Hassan.
