Hamzah yes to reprieve for foreign worker programmes

KUALA LUMPUR: Employers needing foreign workers and those yet to settle issues relating to repatriating workers can heave a huge sigh of relief as the Home Ministry will support an extension to the two programmes involved.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said he would propose to the Cabinet to extend the labour recalibration and repatriation recalibration programmes, adding that he was aware that more time was needed due to the ongoing national lockdown.
