Freeze on recruitment of foreign workers until year-end, says Saravanan


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): There will be no new intake of foreign workers in all sectors until the year-end as locals will be given priority to fill up vacancies, says Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan (pic).

"We will not allow (new) foreign workers until year-end. They (foreigners) can come as tourists, if they are allowed," he told a news conference after launching the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) initiative under the National Economic Recovery Plan (Penjana), at the Human Resources Ministry here Monday (June 22).
