PUTRAJAYA: A total of 7,500 applications for recruitment of foreign workers in the oil palm plantation sector through special exemption have been received by the Human Resources Ministry from Jan 28 to Feb 4.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said some of the applications could not be considered as the requests were from employers who were not eligible to apply for foreign workers as they were cooperatives and outsourcing companies.
