Failure to finalise foreign worker system contract exposed Home Ministry to RM1.57bil lawsuit, says PAC


KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry's failure to finalise the contract for the Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS) led to legal action by Bestinet Sdn Bhd which filed a lawsuit seeking damages of RM1.57bil, says the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

PAC chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (pic) in a report to Parliament on Thursday (March 6) said the committee found that the main terms of the contract, including the payment structure, were not finalised despite the Home Ministry issuing a letter of acceptance in 2018.
