Allow foreign spouses to work

A QUESTION was recently posed in Parliament by Dr Taufiq Johari (Pakatan-Sungai Petani) about the need to revisit policies governing the employment rights of foreign spouses in Malaysia. Family Frontiers welcomes the Home Minister’s acknowledgment of the question.

This long-overdue review signals a critical step towards addressing the socio-economic challenges faced by bi-national families, an issue championed by Foreign Spouses Support Group, the pioneer organisation that has been campaigning for the rights of non-citizen spouses for over a decade, and now Family Frontiers.
