Kerajaan Malaysia melancarkan Pelan Rekalibrasi Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin (PATI) merangkumi dua komponen utama
1) Program Rekalibrasi Pulang dan
2) Program Rekalibrasi Tenaga Kerja
yang akan dilaksanakan bermula 16 Nov 2020 hingga 30 Jun 2021 31 Dis 2021 kepada pendatang tanpa izin yang ada di negara ini.
Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin berkata Program Rekalibrasi Pulang merupakan program yang membenarkan PATI untuk pulang ke negara asal secara sukarela tertakluk kepada syarat-syarat tertentu yang ditetapkan.
Program Rekalibrasi Tenaga Kerja pula menjadikan PATI yang ada di negara ini sebagai pekerja asing yang sah, digajikan oleh majikan yang layak, tertakluk kepada syarat ketat yang diputuskan oleh kerajaan melalui Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia dan Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia, katanya.
“Kita masih membeku kemasukan pekerja asing baharu ke Malaysia dan ia masih diteruskan.
“Pelan ini adalah untuk pendatang tanpa izin dalam negara dan jika mereka ingin bekerja secara sah boleh, dan kalau ingin pulang ke negara asal juga boleh. Kita beri tempoh sehingga 30 Jun 31 Dis 2021,” katanya ketika melancarkan Pelan Rekalibrasi PATI itu di Kementerian Dalam Negeri, di sini hari ini.
Hamzah berkata Pelan Rekalibrasi PATI itu akan dilaksanakan oleh Jabatan Imigresen (JIM) dengan kerjasama strategik Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) serta agensi-agensi kerajaan yang lain tanpa penglibatan vendor atau pihak ketiga.
Menerusi pelan itu Hamzah berkata kerajaan dijangka memperoleh kutipan hasil sebanyak RM95 juta daripada kompaun serta bayaran lain yang dikenakan terhadap pendatang tanpa izin dan majikan.
“Dalam landskap ekonomi yang tidak menentu akibat penularan pandemik COVID-19, kerajaan telah membuat timbang tara yang strategik terhadap pelan ini dengan menilai kesan positif serta kesan negatif pelaksanaannya,” katanya.
Pertimbangan turut diberikan dari aspek keperluan untuk mengumpulkan data taburan serta demografi PATI di Malaysia bagi tujuan penguatkuasaan yang menyeluruh seperti digariskan dalam Pelan Holistik Penguatkuasaan PATI yang diperkenalkan kerajaan sejak awal tahun ini.
“Pendataan PATI boleh diselaraskan melalui maklumat yang dikemukakan oleh PATI dan majikan semasa pendaftaran program ini,” katanya.
Hamzah memberi jaminan penawaran program tenaga kerja kepada PATI sedia ada di Malaysia tidak akan menggugat pasaran serta peluang pekerjaan dalam kalangan rakyat tempatan.
“Peluang pekerjaan kepada pekerja tempatan adalah terjamin tertakluk kepada dasar penetapan nisbah pekerja tempatan dan pekerja asing yang berkuat kuasa ketika ini,” katanya menambah kerajaan sentiasa mengutamakan rakyat tempatan bagi mengisi kekosongan tenaga kerja dalam semua sektor ekonomi.
Menjelas lanjut, Hamzah berkata empat sektor iaitu pembinaan, perkilangan, perladangan dan pertanian dibenarkan mengambil pendatang tanpa izin untuk bekerja dalam tempoh pelaksanaan Pelan Rekalibrasi PATI.
“Buat masa ini, hanya majikan yang beroperasi dalam empat sektor yang bersifat 3D iaitu dangerous, difficult dan dirty (kotor, bahaya dan sukar) dibenarkan untuk mengambil PATI sebagai pekerja,” katanya sambil menambah pelan itu hanya untuk PATI dari 15 negara sumber seperti Thailand, Kemboja, Nepal, Myanmar dan Bangladesh.
Hamzah berkata satu Jawatankuasa Pemandu Pelaksanaan Pelan Rekalibrasi PTI telah ditubuhkan dengan diketuai oleh Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) Datuk Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz.
Jawatankuasa itu dianggotai oleh pelbagai agensi seperti Kementerian Sumber Manusia (KSM), JIM, JTKSM serta beberapa agensi berkaitan yang berperanan untuk memantau dan mengawal selia pelaksanaan Pelan Rekalibrasi PATI.
Jawatankuasa Khas bagi membincangkan hal ehwal pekerja asing yang dipengerusikan bersama antara Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Menteri Sumber Manusia pula akan bermesyuarat setiap tiga bulan, katanya.
Jawatankuasa Khas peringkat menteri itu turut membincangkan keperluan untuk meluaskan Pelan Rekalibrasi PATI kepada sektor-sektor lain kelak dan dasar berkaitan ekspatriat. Mesyuarat pertama jawatankuasa ini dijadualkan pada 3 Dis 2020, katanya.
KDN dan KSM bersetuju untuk mengintegrasi dan berkongsi data bagi menguruskan hal ehwal pekerja asing termasuklah penyeragaman pembayaran gaji melalui satu system e-wages yang sama dan perkara itu akan dibincangkan dalam mesyuarat jawatankuasa khas peringkat menteri akan datang, katanya.
“Majikan wajar mengambil peluang pelaksanaan pelan ini untuk mendaftarkan PATI sedia ada di negara ini sebagai sumber tenaga kerja di semua sektor ekonomi yang terlibat,” kata Hamzah.
Turut hadir ialah Menteri Sumber Manusia Datuk Seri M. Saravanan dan Ketua Pengarah Imigresen Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.

The government will be launching the Illegal Immigrant Recalibration Plan encompassing two main components:
a) Return Recalibration Programme and
b) Labour Recalibration Programme (rehiring program / legalisation program)
which would be implemented from Nov 16 2020 to June 30 2021 Dec 31 2021 for illegal immigrants who are in the country.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the Return Recalibration Programme allows illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin voluntarily, subject to specific stipulated conditions.
The Labour Recalibration Programme regularises illegal immigrants in the country as foreign workers who could be employed by eligible employers subject to stringent conditions determined by the government through the Immigration Department and the Peninsular Malaysia Labour Department (JTKSM), he said.
“We are still freezing new foreign workers to Malaysia and it is still going on.
“The plan is for illegal immigrants in the country who wish to work legally and for those who want to return to their countries of origin to do so. We are giving a period up to June 30,” he said when launching the Illegal Immigrant Recalibration Plan at the Home Ministry here today.
Hamzah said the plan would be implemented by the Immigrant Department with the strategic cooperation of JTKSM as well as other government agencies without involving vendor or third party.
Through this plan, Hamzah said the government is expected to collect RM95 million from compounds and other payments imposed on illegal immigrants and employers.
“In the uncertain economic landscape due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government would be carrying out strategic assessment on the plan by evaluating the positive and negative effects of its implementation,” he said.
Due consideration would also be given from the aspect of data distribution as well as demography of illegal immigrants in Malaysia for comprehensive enforcement as outlined in the Holistic Plan on Enforcement Against Illegal Immigrant introduced since early this year.
“The data collection of illegal immigrants would be coordinated via information submitted by illegal immigrants and employers during the programme registration,” he said.
Hamzah also gave assurance that the manpower programme offer for illegal immigrants who are in Malaysia would not threaten the market or job opportunities for locals.
“Employment opportunities for local workers are assured subject to the policy on ration of local worker to foreign worker in effect now,” he said and added that the government gives priority to local workers to fill workforce vacancies in all sectors of the economy.
Hamzah said the four sectors namely construction, manufacturing, plantation and agriculture are allowed to employ illegal immigrants during the implementation Illegal immigrant Recalibration Plan.
Latest updates:
The following service sub-sector are open for recalibration registration as well.
1) Restaurant
2) Cleaning Services
3) Wholesales & Retails
4) Cargo Services
“For the time being, only employers operating in the four sectors called 3D — dangerous, difficult and dirty are allowed to take in illegal immigrants as workers,” he said, adding that the plan is only for illegal immigrants from 15 countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Hamzah said an Illegal immigrant Recalibration Plan Implementation Steering Committee headed by Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Wan Ahmad Dahlan Abdul Aziz has been set up.
The committee comprises members of various agencies such as the Human Resource Ministry (MOHR), Immigration Department, JTKSM as well as several other related agencies with the role to monitor and regulate the implementation of the Illegal Immigrant Recalibration Plan.
A Special Committee jointly chaired by the Home Minister and Human Resource Minister to discuss foreign worker affairs will meet every three months, he said.
The minister-level Special Committee would also discuss the need to expand the Illegal Immigrant Recalibration Plan to other sectors as well as the policy on expatriates. The first meeting of the committee is scheduled on Dec 3, 2020, he said.
The Home Ministry and MOHR agreed to integrate and share data to manage the affairs of foreign workers including standardising salaries through a joint e-wages system and the matter would be discussed in the ministerial special committee in future, he said.
“Employers should take the opportunity of the plan implementation to register existing illegal immigrants in the country as manpower resources in all sectors of the economy involved,” said Hamzah.
Also present was Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri M Saravanan and Immigration Department director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.

The Immigration Department has launched the MyTravelPass system, which will make it easier for Malaysians and foreigners to apply for entry or exit permits during the Covid-19 period. It would reduce the application time to a maximum of five days, said Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.
“Before this, applications to enter or exit the country by Malaysians and foreigners were done through email.
“The department has been swamped with between 5,000 and 6,000 emails a day, causing a delay in the applications. We received many complaints from applicants because of this.
“With that, the Immigration Department has taken a proactive step by introducing the MyTravelPass system which uses a ‘single window’. “This will ease the application process, ” Khairul Dzaimee told a press conference yesterday.
Currently, Malaysia’s international borders are closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic and only a select group of categories are exempted, though most of them require prior permission from the Immigration Department.
Among the categories that can be applied for via the MyTravelPass system are entry and exit applications for foreign expatriates and their dependents, permanent residents, Malaysia My Second Home holders and foreign maids. Entry applications for the Singapore Reciprocal Green Lane and the Periodical Commuting Arrangement can also be done through the portal.
Khairul Dzaimee said in the past, it would take up to 10 days for the applications to be processed. “Now it is easier to apply. Of course, the approval is another matter. “Within three to five days, the approval or rejection will be notified, ” he added.
Khairul Dzaimee said the system was developed by the department’s information technology division internally and without using outside funds.
“The people are advised to read and understand the instructions and application procedures before making their application though MyTravelPass, ” he said.
Malaysia on Thursday (Sept 10) announced that it will allow expatriates and professional visit pass holders from 23 countries to enter, reversing a move on Monday (Sept 7) that was criticised by employers.
To curb the spread of Covid-19, Malaysia had announced that people coming from countries with more than 150,000 cases would be blocked from entering.
The enforced entry ban includes those coming in from the United States, Britain, India and Indonesia.
All foreign tourists have been banned from entry since March.
Convid 19 countries list that have more than 150,000 new cases as at 11th September 2020.
But Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Thursday that a special Cabinet committee has decided to slightly relax the regulation that was enforced from Monday.
But these expatriates and professional visit pass-holders must first “obtain approval from the (Malaysian) Immigration Department before they can enter the country”, he said.
“Their application must be accompanied by a supporting letter from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority or related agencies, ” he said.
Employers had complained that the government should continue to allow expats and employment pass holders to come in as their technical skills are needed to help the economy.
In another reversal of the ban that started on Monday, Datuk Seri Ismail said the government has also decided to allow permanent residents, as well as foreign spouses of Malaysian citizens, to enter Malaysia from these 23 countries with high infection rates.
But this group can make only a one-way journey into Malaysia and remain in the country.
Student pass holders from the affected countries will also be allowed into Malaysia.
“All categories mentioned must get approval from Immigration beforehand, ” he said.
The 23 countries are the US, Brazil, India, Russia, Peru, Columbia, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Iran, Bangladesh, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, France, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Iraq, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the Return Recalibration Programme allows illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin voluntarily, subject to specific stipulated conditions.
