Home and Human Resource ministries both responsible for managing foreign workers

The Immigration Department, which is under the Home Ministry, is responsible for immigration matters such as the E-kad here, which was issued to undocumented foreign workers under its registration programme.

PETALING JAYA: Both the Human Resources and Home ministries are involved in the management of foreign workers, but each has their respective roles and responsibilities.

The Home Ministry said this following a report in a Malay daily on Monday (July 8) on the surplus of Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia whereby Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran was quoted as saying that the issue was not under his Ministry, but under the Home Ministry.
