Hamzah: Firms can hire foreign workers if they finance deportation of those held at immigration depots

PUTRAJAYA: Big corporations will be allowed to bring in foreign workers, but in return, they are required to finance the repatriation of foreigners held at immigration depots.

The hiring of foreign workers in the metal, scrap and used item sub-sector will also no longer be allowed. These were among matters discussed at the first Home and Human Resources Ministers joint committee meeting on Thursday (Dec 3).
