Some view the multi-tiered levy system as a burden

GEORGE TOWN: For some industry players, the proposal for a multi-tiered levy system in hiring foreigners isn’t entirely good news.Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce’s (PCCC) executive adviser Datuk Seri Choot Ewe Seng was of the view that it was not the right move as it would burden many companies.

“Instead of introducing a new system, the government should assist the industries in getting foreign workers without the proposed tiered levy,” he said.
