Mixed reactions to placing ads for foreign workers on portal


PETALING JAYA: The move to get employers to advertise vacancies for foreign workers and expatriates on the national employment portal has drawn support from the country’s largest employers’ group, and thumbs down from small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).

Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman welcomed the move to prioritise the employment of locals, saying it was a positive step to resolve the unemployment issue especially among fresh graduates.
