PETALING JAYA: Malaysia needs some 6,000 barbers and getting the green light to hire foreign workers after 14 years is like “finally getting some oxygen to breathe”, says Malaysia Indian Hair Dressing Owners Association assistant secretary M. Meenaq Kumar.

“We will wait for more details on the requirements that will be announced after the Cabinet meeting on Friday,” he said at an interview yesterday.
