No new special approvals being given under Workforce Recalibration Programme, says Immigration Dept


KUALA LUMPUR: A fake message is being circulated claiming that special approvals are being given to illegal immigrants under the Workforce Recalibration Programme (RTK 2.0), says the Immigration Department.

In a statement on Wednesday (Sept 6), Immigration director-general Datuk Ruslin Jusoh said they were aware of the voice recording claiming that those who became illegal immigrants (by overstaying, for example) after Dec 31, 2022 would be issued special approval under RTK 2.0.
