PETALING JAYA: The government should bear the cost of screening and treating foreign workers for Covid-19, say employers.

Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan, however, said the contradictory statements from the government only caused confusion to industry players and the public, leaving many businesses wondering if they were liable to bear the cost.
