Recruitment agencies should be fined if they fail to provide jobs for foreign workers, says Johari

PUTRAJAYA: The Plantation and Commodities Ministry has proposed a compound of up to RM30,000 per worker to be imposed against companies that fail to provide jobs for the foreign workers that they recruit.

Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, who presented the proposal in the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday (Jan 3), said the issue impacts all sectors, including the plantation sector, which is facing a labour shortage.
