MyEG’s Contract To Register Malaysia Foreign Workers Extended Till 31 Dec 2017

My EG Services Bhd’s (MyEG) contract to manage the registration of Malaysia illegal foreign workers under the rehiring program has been extended until Dec 31, 2017.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the e-Government services provider said it received a notification letter on Monday from the Home Affairs Ministry regarding the extension. The project was originally scheduled to run from Feb 15, 2016, to Aug 15, 2016.

MyEG said it would be able to register all foreign workers except those from Myanmar.

The company said the project had no fixed value as it depended on the number of illegal foreign workers successfully registered.

“It is expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets per share of the group for the financial years ending June 30,  2017 and 2018 respectively.

MyEG said none of the directors and/or major shareholders and persons connected with a director or major shareholder had any interest, direct or indirect, in the project.

Recently the Immigration Department gave MyEG the mandate to provide online renewal of temporary employment pass for foreign workers for a period of five years, backdated to start from May 23, 2015.

Employers of illegal foreign workers can now legalise their employment under the Immigration Department’s E-kad (enforcement card)  programme starting from Feb 15. The registration will be available at all Immigration Department offices in the peninsula.

datuk_mustafar_aliEquipped with a biometric security system, the E-kad registration will be free and valid for one year – until Feb 15, 2018. Department director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali (pic) said employers could apply for the E-kad between Feb 15 and June 30.

“There will be no extension beyond that and we are firm on this,” he told a press conference after visiting its Shah Alam headquarters at Kompleks PKNS Shah Alam yesterday.

Only five sectors are eligible under the programme – plantation, agriculture, industrial, construction and services, said Mustafar.

“The E-kad will function as a temporary confirmation of employment to replace valid travel documents from the respective embassies,” he said.

After registration, em­­plo­­yers are advised to apply for their foreign workers’ passports and permits from their respective embassies as a temporary replacement of valid travel documents, he added.

Mustafar said the decision to legalise the employment of illegal foreign workers – as announced by the Government on Jan 17 – was made to address shortages in several sectors.

“The employers have to register their foreign workers at our offices with the necessary documentation, which will take two days to process,” he said.

Mustafar estimated that between 400,000 and 600,000 foreign workers will turn up to register under the programme.

“For the illegal foreign workers to qualify, they must be employed presently and adhere to the existing rehiring program regulations,” he said.

They must also be from the approved source countries and not have absconded from any employment or failed any health tests, he added.

“The illegal foreign workers registered under the rehiring programme cannot at any time be allowed to change employers (within the period),” he said.

The registration, Mustafar reiterated, can only be done in the peninsula.

As for the employers, he said they must conform to all existing rehiring programme rules, be from the approved sectors and sub-sectors, and not be blacklisted or suspended by the Home Ministry or its one-stop centres.

Malaysia Cabinet Agrees To Postpone Levy Payment On Foreign Workers To Next Year

The Cabinet has agreed to postpone to next year, the implementation of levy payment on Malaysia foreign workers by employers, which will be enforced under the Employer Mandatory Commitment (EMC). Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the Cabinet today, had also agreed to look into a proper ecosystem, aimed at providing convenience to industries in hiring foreign workers, and to ensure the country’s economic growth.

datuk_seri_liow_tiong_lai

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai

He said the decision was made after a presentation by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Paul Low who gave the overall picture pertaining to the EMC.

“It is not just on levy, but on the rights of the employer to have direct access towards the workers, rather than going through a middle man, how to cut down bureaucracy procedures and how to have fast employment of foreign workers.

“At the meeting, we also voiced out the need to regulate employment of foreign workers and ensure it can support our economic growth, without giving problem to our social issues,” he told reporters here today.

On Dec 31, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also home minister, had announced employers would be responsible for paying the levy of their foreign workers which would be enforced under the EMC.

Under the scheme, the employers would be disallowed from deducting the levy from the wages of their workers.

Yesterday, construction industry players wanted the EMC to be scrapped as it did not benefit the country.

Liow said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had agreed to look into these matter personally and would coordinate with the home ministry and human resources ministry to “take care of whatever hiccups” to resolve the issue.

“The Cabinet is clear that our foreign worker policy must be vibrant and able to solve the present shortage of foreign workers in the country,” he said, adding the Cabinet Committee on Foreign Workers would meet soon.

DPM: Malaysia Employers Themselves Have To Pay Foreign Worker Levy From Jan 1 2017

Employers will be responsible for paying the levy of their Malaysia foreign workers effective tomorrow, Jan 1, 2017, said Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said this was enforced under the Employer Mandatory Commitment (EMC) and the employers would be disallowed from deducting the levy from the wages of their workers.

ahmad_zahid_hamidiAhmad Zahid, who is also Home Minister, said the EMC was to ensure that employers were fully responsible for their workers from the time of their appointment to the time they returned to their countries.

He said in a statement that this change in policy would ensure that employers were more responsible in taking care of their workers and avert cases of foreign workers running way, changing sectors of work illegally, and overstaying and becoming illegal immigrants.

Ahmad Zahid said employers should also abide by the Guidelines on the Minimum Standard of Foreign Workers Accommodation whereby the workers would stay in accommodation provided by the employers.

The minister also said that the government would soon introduce a Letter of Undertaking that outlines the responsibilities and conditions that every employer of foreign workers would have to observe.

He said the government was also reviewing the rate of security deposit imposed on employers who brought in foreign workers.

“The existing rate was too low and ineffective as a preventive measure to ensure that employers sent back their foreign workers to their countries of origin upon termination of their contracts,” he said.

Ahmad Zahid said the recruitment of foreign workers was a privilege granted to employers to meet the manpower needs of industries and help national economic growth.

However, he said, there were employers who were not responsible for the workers they brought in and violated the provisions in the law and regulations.

Ahmad Zahid said the government had received reports that employers did not pay wages in accordance with the minimum wage, restricted the movement of foreign workers and kept their passports.

“There were instances where foreign workers ran away and the employers washed their hands of the matter and left it to the Immigration Department, police and other agencies to locate and send back the workers,” he said.

Such incidents gave room to irresponsible people to indulge in human trafficking,” he added.

Malaysia Cabinet Nod For Yearly Foreign Worker Health Check

Some 1.9 million registered Malaysia foreign workers will have to undergo annual health screening from now on. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said the Cabinet has approved the new policy on health screening of foreign workers.

“We have approved annual health screening for foreign workers in Malaysia from now,” he told reporters after opening the Fruits and Vegetables Eating Campaign at Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism 2016 (MAHA 2016) here Tuesday.

However, Dr Subramaniam said the policy only affects legal and registered foreign workers.

He said the screening would cover several types of communicable diseases.

He added that the problem of tackling unscreened and illegal foreign workers was not solely the responsibility of the Health Ministry but one that needed a multi-agency approach.

He noted that Sabah was concerned that the influx of illegal workers had resulted in a rise in tuberculosis cases.

At present, foreign workers are screened in their own country before arriving here and again screened three times over the first three years.

Up to 3% of the foreign worker population, or about 60,000 of them, could be medically unfit.

Ensure Malaysia Foreign Workers Carry Health Card

Besides compelling Malaysia foreign workers to undergo annual medical check-up (fomema), they should also be made to carry a special health card, stating that they had done so.

In proposing this, Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said drastic action must be implemented to combat the spread of communicable diseases effectively.

“The authorities have been fighting hard to eliminate certain contagious diseases for decades but these are now coming back.

“One of the reasons is because we have a high number of foreign workers who come from countries with high prevalence of diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis and malaria,” he said.

Mohamad said several new cases of malaria were reported in Jelebu recently and these could be attributed to the presence of foreign wor­kers there.

He commended the Health Ministry for reintroducing a policy which made it compulsory for foreign workers to undergo annual health checks.

“We are fully supportive of the move and hope it can be implemented quickly,” he said, adding that since all documented foreign wor­kers were already required to carry the I-Kad, information on their health status should also be incorporated into it.

“The holder’s health information can be updated annually in the card as it has high technology features,” he said.

Mohamad said the authorities must take stern action against employers who refused to send their foreign workers for the check-up, including blacklisting them and ha­­ving their workers deported.

In Ipoh, state executive councillor Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said certain industries facing shortage of foreign workers would resort to hiring illegal foreigners.

“These workers not only pose potential health hazard to them (employers) but also to the nation.

“Employers must strive to get workers using the proper channels,” he said.

On the other hand, Assistant Minister of Public Health Datuk Dr Jerip Susil commented Malaysia foreign workers with communicable diseases will be deported.

Malaysia Foreign Workers With Communicable Diseases Will Be Deported

“We have been having stringent procedures for the screening of these communicable diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), malaria, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis for the new intake of foreign workers into Malaysia. And if they are found to be infected with HIV/AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis, they will be deported to their country of origin,” Dr Jerip

Malaysia foreign workers who contracted HIV/AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis will be deported to their countries of origin, said Assistant Minister of Public Health Datuk Dr Jerip Susil.

At the same time, the state Health Department will continue to impose stringent health procedures for these and other communicable diseases on new intake of foreign workers before they are allowed to work in various sectors in the state, he added.

“We have been having stringent procedures for the screening of these communicable diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), malaria, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis for the new intake of foreign workers. And if they are found to be infected with HIV/AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis, they will be deported to their country of origin,” Dr Jerip told The Borneo Post here yesterday.

He, however, said those found to be carriers of malaria and TB would be treated locally and segregated.

“We have to be on high alert as the cases of both malaria and TB have been on the rise. So we need the cooperation of everyone to ensure that the diseases could be contained and controlled,” he pointed out.

Dr Jerip also stressed that local employers must send their foreign workers for health screening on a yearly basis.

“As most of these foreign workers are employed in the plantations, many plantation owners have set up their own health facilities to provide healthcare for them. On top of that, they also provide basic healthcare services to the local community as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR),” said Dr Jerip.

On a related issue, Dr Jerip called for a multi-agency approach in tackling these deadly infectious diseases.

“To tackle deadly infectious diseases such as TB, Hepatitis B, AIDS and even malaria, there is a need for concerted efforts by all relevant agencies such as Health Department, Immigration Department, Police, Rela, the local elected representatives and the village development and security committees (JKKKs) to be involved and assist the government in tackling this menace.

“Everyone in our society must be involved in one way or another in addressing these deadly infectious diseases from getting out of control,” he said.

Most of the illegal workers are employed in plantations, construction industry, factories and some as housemaids.

Dr Jerip was commenting on news report that the Health Ministry now wanted annual health checks, which was previously mandatory, to be reinstated on foreign workers due to increasing number of them seeking treatment for chronic ailments.

It has been estimated that up to three per cent (60,000) of foreign workers in Malaysia could be medically unfit.

Presently, foreign workers are required to undergo medical check-ups (fomema) three times over a period of three years. Besides being screened first in their countries, it is compulsory for them to undergo a medical examination within a month upon arrival here.

They must then get another thorough health check before their annual permit can be renewed.
