Programme may be the answer to end labour woes

PUTRAJAYA: With the hiring and legalisation of foreign labour set to become easier with the launch of the Labour Recalibration Programme 2.0 (RTK 2.0) on Jan 27, key stakeholders are heaving a sigh of relief at the possible solution to the nation’s labour shortage.

Malaysian Maid Employers Association (Mama) president Engku Ahmad Fauzi Engku Muhsein said RTK 2.0 could prove to be a timely solution to the problem by utilising the untapped pool of illegal workers in the country.
