Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan

KAJANG: The government is considering kicking off a savings scheme for foreign workers styled after the Employers Provident Fund (EPF) that it hopes will also solve a couple of other problems.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said the scheme would allow these workers to withdraw their savings only from their home countries.
