Delay in foreign labour intake due to over-reliance on Indonesia, Bangladesh, says HR Minister


PETALING JAYA: Overdependence on a small number of source countries is the cause for delays in the entry of foreign labour into the country, says Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.

The Human Resources Minister said that Malaysian employers' overreliance on foreign labour from only a few source countries may not only lower the competitiveness of the labour market but also possibly cause shortages in labour supply in those few countries.
