PUTRAJAYA — The freeze on foreign worker employment quota applications will continue until a date to be announced later.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this is because the total number of foreign workers in the country as of Sept 15 is nearing the stipulated ceiling of 15% of the total workforce in the country

The ceiling on the number of foreign workers is set by the Economy Ministry under the 12th Malaysia Plan.

“The government will study and reconsider the ruling on opening the quota on foreign worker employment.

“As such, it is informed that the freeze on foreign worker employment quota applications is extended until a date to be announced later,” the minister said in a statement today.

Saifuddin Nasution said the Workforce Recalibration Programme 2.0 registration period had ended on Dec 31, 2023 and the government has no plans to implement the programme again in the future. – October 21, 2024
