KUALA LUMPUR: Any policy to restrict jobs for cooks in local restaurants to be Malaysians only will not be absolute, and foreigners may still be employed, says Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran.

"I suggested we focus on giving locals the jobs, but we had a lot of objections from restaurant operators who said this policy shift does not give them time to overcome the lack of workers.
