PETALING JAYA: The government plans to introduce a technology-driven, artificial intelligence (AI)-based recruitment system applicable to all source countries, says Datuk Seri R. Ramanan (pic). He added that the move is in line with the “Employer Pays Principle” under the guidelines of the International Labour Organi­sa­tion. He said that the agreement was reached as both countries pledged to uphold their commitment to a fair, ethical and transparent recruitment process. Ramanan said both Bangladeshi and Malaysian officials reaffirmed their longstanding and mutually beneficial partnership in labour migration. The meeting also discussed ongoing legal cases related to human trafficking in worker recruitment.
