Nearly 50,000 Employers Applied for RTK 2.0（2023）On The First 5 Days
Immigration director general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud, revealed that the foreign worker recalibration program 2.0 2023 (RTK 2.0) received a positive response after its implementation in 27 January 2023.
Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud pointed out that in the first five days after the implementation, the Immigration Department has received nearly 50,000 applications from employers.
He said the response this time has been better than expected compared to similar programs that have been put in place in the past.
“In the first five days, we received 47,200 applications.”
“The previous record of applications was 265,000, and as the rules of the reset program are relaxed, we expect the number of applicants to be even higher,” he said when he was appearing as a guest on “TV 3” program this morning.
In addition, Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud also called on small plantation / estate holders to participate in this RTK 2.0 program.
“Those small plantation owners with small plantations and rubber plantations, or the owner of a Tom Yam restaurant, can apply to the Immigration Department and we will approve it,” he said.
Also, addressing the high cost of hiring new domestic workers from Indonesia, Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said employers can consider to apply for this registration.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail announced on the 10th of January, 2023 that the RTK 2.0 will be resumed from now until the end of the year.
He made the announcement at a press conference after attending a special meeting on foreign labor management chaired by the Prime Minister.
He said that under this scheme, illegal workers can choose to pay a fine to work legally in Malaysia, or voluntarily repatriate to their home country.
“The conditions set in the foreign worker recalibration program 2.0 2023 (RTK 2.0) are more flexible, but will not ignore national security concerns.”
