Kula: We need to tackle illegal workers issues first before signing MOUs with other countries

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is taking a step back on signing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with other countries regarding foreign labour, because it first wants to tackle the issue of illegal foreign workers.

Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran (pic) said Malaysia is currently negotiating with countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam on the issue of illegal migrant workers who overstay their tenure.
