KAJANG (Bernama): The Immigration Department will propose to the government a new policy for the issuance and renewal of Temporary Employment Visit Pass (PLKS) for foreign workers in the country. "Based on this new policy, employers must comply with Act 446 (Workers' Minimum Standards of Housing and Amenities (Amendment) Act 2019 by obtaining a certificate from the Manpower Department. "It is only with this certificate that they (employers) will be considered if they could bring in foreign workers or renew the PLKS of existing workers," he told a press conference at Eco Majestic, Semenyih near here Friday (Oct 1). Meanwhile, 297 foreigners comprising 112 Indonesians, Bangladeshi (95), Myanmar (66), Vietnamese (13) and Ghanaian (one) nationals were detained following a raid on a workers’ housing from 1am today. The detainees will first be taken to the Putrajaya and Seremban district health centres to undergo Covid-19 screening, he added.
