PUTRAJAYA: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan (pic) says employers will soon be able to submit online recruitment applications for hiring foreign workers in each sector from source countries. In a statement Monday (Jan 10), the minister said he will make an announcement on the date soon. At the Cabinet meeting on Dec 10, it was agreed that foreign worker recruitment is open to all sectors other than the plantation sector. Saravanan also reminded employers who want to hire foreign workers to submit their own applications based on the actual need for them. The government had earlier required foreign workers who entered the country to adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOP) approved by the COVID-19 Ministerial Quartet Meeting on Dec 14, last year.
