Stop relying on traditional source of countries alone for foreign labour, says PM


KUALA LUMPUR: Employers are urged to consider hiring foreign workers from approved source countries and not merely rely on traditional source nations alone as part of efforts to address the shortage of foreign labour.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government, which remains committed to tackling the issue and challenges of hiring foreign workers, also urged the Human Resources Ministry to speed up the employer interview process by increasing the number of interviewers at One-Stop Centres (OSCs) according to zones and states.
