Govt to allow foreign workers to change employers across different sectors

Every work of art needs a tool. Like a paintbrush to a painter, or a chisel to a sculpture, a skilled worker is the crucial tool that creates a concrete masterpiece. Here is some site workers carrying the raw materials and fittings for an urban property development in Petaling Jaya-YAP CHEE HONG/TheStar.

PUTRAJAYA: The government has decided to allow foreign workers to change employers across different sectors of employment, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

The Home Minister said the decision was made at the 13th joint committee meeting on the management of foreign workers, which he co-chaired with Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong here on Thursday (May 8).
