5,000 foreign workers at risk after sudden closure of RTK 2.0, bosses claim


PUTRAJAYA: The government has been urged to explain the sudden closure of the Second Labour Recalibration Programme (RTK 2.0), which has affected about 5,000 foreign workers and their employers.

They are appealing for a transition period to let them complete pending recalibration matters, and for the government to implement alternatives to avoid adverse effects such as detention and deportation of workers who were in the midst of the legalisation process.
