JOHOR BARU: The issue of more than 200,000 unemployed foreigners in the country is expected to be resolved by the end of the year via the Labour Recalibration Programme, says the Home Minister.

Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said priority for job placements would be given to foreigners listed under the programme, and that the government has held talks with several sectors, including the plantation sector, which needs foreign labour.
