He said in this matter, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) with other agencies including the Immigration Department and Human Resource Ministry will work closely to identify the critical needs.

“As for critical areas, the government has a policy which allows some foreign companies to continue employing new foreign workers.

“…but going foward, our policy is to encourage more Malaysians to be employed by foreign and local companies,” he told a press conference after officiating Coca-cola Bottlers (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd’s New Production Line here today.

Mustapha said as for now, the government’s policy was to legalise illegal workers under the Rehiring Programme.

“Yes, we do need foreign workers but our policy going forward is to legalise illegal workers… there are about two million illegal foreign workers in this country and at least one million illegal foreign workers needed to be legalised,” he added.

In February, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced a freeze on the intake of foreign workers, ncluding those from Bangladesh
