New MOU to ensure more orderly recruitment of foreign workers from India, says Sim

NEW DELHI: Hiring migrant workers from India to Malaysia will now be more transparent, fair, and orderly, while avoiding bad practices such as exploitation with the signing of a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Malaysian and Indian governments here on Tuesday.

Human Resources Minister Steven Sim (pic) said the original MOU had lapsed in 2014, resulting in almost 10 years of no clear guidelines for managing the recruitment of workers from India.
