KUALA LUMPUR: There is no additional charge for a foreign worker’s iKad costing RM110, as the cost is already included in the current temporary work permit application fees.

The Home Ministry in a statement said that at the launch of the card in Putrajaya last week, its minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had announced the iKad – which included a barcode and cardholder’s thumbprint – would be colour-coded according to sector for easier identification.
