The processing times for foreign worker levy refunds will be shortened, effective today, to introduce more employer and industry-friendly refund policies, according to Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Speaking at a special media conference today, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that based on the decision approved during today's cabinet meeting, undocumented workers who wish to return to their home countries would be allowed to do so after settling compounds for the immigration offences that they committed.
The prosecution in the trial of six policemen and a civilian who are charged with killing an e-hailing driver will adduce to show that the murder took place on January 13, 2023, where the deceased was lured out of a hotel in Tawau and ordered to drive with others in a car to an oil palm plantation where he was killed.
