Employers with no workers quota in a fix

In demand: Foreign workers, typically from South Asia, are a vital cog in many of the country’s industries.

PETALING JAYA: A freeze in the application and approval of foreign workers quota will deprive employers with no quota from getting any workers, says the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).

Although the temporally suspension was to make way for employers with quota to bring in their workers first, the federation noted that not all the approved workers would come at once.
