The Immigration Department has rounded up more than 1,200 illegal foreign workers in the first three days of its Ops Mega 3.0 nationwide. Its director-general Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali said the arrests were made following the end of the rehiring programme which ended on June 30.

“We held 473 operations nationwide beginning July 1 and checked 5,038 foreigners.

“We detained 1,224 for further action,” he told reporters following the department monthly assembly here on Tuesday (July 3).

He said they had already given ample warning before the rehiring programme ended.

“From Feb 15, a total of 744,942 illegal workers and 83,919 employers had registered for the rehiring programme.

“Of the total number of illegal workers who registered, 415,791 came forward to us for the ‘whitening’ exercise,” he said, adding that they would not compromise on illegal workers and employers who flouted the law.

He said so far, legal action had been taken against 15 employers in the last three days of Ops Mega 3.0.

On the overcrowding of illegal workers at the Immigration Depots nationwide, Mustafar said his department would ensure investigations were completed within 14 days from their detention.

“The Government stands to save in administrative costs, which currently amounts to as much as RM25mil a month at these depots.

“It is better that this money be used for other purposes, such as education instead of bearing the costs of holding these illegal workers,” he added.

Malaysia Government To Ban Foreign Cooks, Only Locals Allowed To Cook In Restaurants

The Human Resource Ministry wants all restaurants in the country to only recruit locals as cooks from July 1, 2018 says its Minister M. Kulasegaran.

He however said all operators would be given up to the end of the year to ensure only local cooks work in their restaurants.

malaysia_human_resource_minister_m_kulasegaranHe said a new regulation would only permit locals as cooks in all restaurants effective Jan 1, 2019.

“So we want locals to be employed as cooks. There will be no compromise … we are giving you notice to do it by Dec 31. If you don’t do it we can’t help it,” he told Bernama News Channel here on Thursday.

Earlier, Kulasegaran held a meeting with the Indian Restaurant Operators Association (Prisma) in Petaling Jaya.

He said the ministry would be holding more meetings with Prisma as well as the Indian Muslim Restaurant Operators Association (Presma) soon on the implementation of local cooks in restaurants.

Kulasegaran said the move would be able to reduce dependence of local restaurants on foreign workers and ensure the quality of local food.

He said the ministry would follow the footstep of the Penang state government in banning foreigners as cooks in food shops, restaurants as well as stalls around the island.

Since 2014, the Penang state government prohibited foreigners from working as cooks at hawker stalls in an effort to protect the national food heritage.

Commenting on the statement, Prisma president P. Muthusamy said the decision was quite shocking and would have major implications to operators.

“In the past few years, we have been facing problems of manpower. In fact more than 500 restaurants had closed during the period due to the shortage of workers,” he said.

Muthusamy said he hopes the ministry would hold further discussions with food shop operators nationwide before implementing the decision.

Presma president Ayub Khan said the problem of workers in restaurants was getting more serious as no locals want to work in restaurants.

“We advertised, offering a salary of up to RM2,500, but no one came. It is not easy to find local workers for restaurants,” he said.

Malaysian Government Expediting Intake of Foreign Workers From Bangladesh To Aid Industries

Malaysia is leveraging on a government-to-government platform with Bangladesh to expedite new foreign worker hires from Bangladesh as the plantation, rubber glove manufacturing and furniture sectors are in dire need of foreign workers.

MAH SIEW KEONG

Malaysia is leveraging on a government-to-government platform with Bangladesh to expedite new hires as the plantation, rubber glove manufacturing and furniture sectors are in dire need of workers. “Last week, the Cabinet has directed Human Resources Minister Datuk Richard Riot Jaem to speed up the process of sourcing new hires from Bangladesh,” said Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong.

“Last week, the Cabinet has directed Human Resources Minister Datuk Richard Riot Jaem to speed up the process of sourcing new Bangladesh foreign worker hires,” said Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong.

“My ministry is coordinating with relevant authorities to ease this problem so that you can meet the export orders,” he said after officiating the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Industry Association (KLSFIA) 60th Anniversary and Merger Gala Dinner, here last Friday.

Mah also assured furniture manufacturers that his ministry is looking at new measures to facilitate adequate supply of rubberwood at competitive pricing.

Mah said he is liaising with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to facilitate furniture manufacturers to exhibit at the soon-to-be-completed Malaysian International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) that spans across one million sq ft.

In February, the Home Ministry reportedly suspended the recruitment of foreign workers, only to partially allow hiring of new foreign workers to four sectors including construction, services, manufacturing and furniture manufacturer in May.

To date, furniture manufacturers such as members of KLSFIA said they continue to face foreign labour shortage. They have repeatedly appealed to the government that the sudden policy change in the hiring of foreign workers was bad for business.

The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) have also said that disruption in new hire of foreign workers is jeopardising Malaysia’s position as the number one maker of medical and surgical gloves globally.

Last year, Malaysia’s 106 medical glove-making factories churned out some 120 billion pieces for exports and this brought in RM13.1 billion.

“As global demand for medical gloves expands, we need more workers; it is our fervent hope the government ensure availability of new foreign worker hire,” Margma president Denis Low Jau Foo reportedly said.

“We are duly worried by not being able to meet global demand for this medical device. There is an element of humanity here as the medical gloves we make are a necessity for doctors to save lives,” Low added.

According to data provided by the Statistics Department, the manufacturing sector contributed RM626 billion last year, thus making it a key economic driver, which also accounted for half of Malaysia’s RM1.16 trillion economy and more than 80 per cent of RM780 billion total exports.

Separately, the Sarawak Oil Palm Plantation Owners Association (SOPPOA) reiterated its members continue to face acute shortage of workers and they are experiencing huge losses.

Currently, Sarawak has 1.4 million hectares planted with oil palms. According to the Labour-Land Ratio of one man to 8ha, SOPPOA members require 175,000 workers.

But data from Malaysian Palm Oil Board and the Sarawak Labour Department reveal only 108,000 workers are employed in the Sarawak plantation industry, comprised of 86,000 foreign workers and 22,000 locals.

“We face shortfall of over 67,000 workers. Loss of fruits left unharvested leads to billions in revenue losses to estates and the government in terms of taxes collection,” it said in a statement last Friday.

If new hire of foreign worrkes continues to be disrupted and lacking, SOPPOA regretfully expressed Sarawak’s palm oil industry may not be able to meet the government’s target growth of 8 per cent per annum to achieve 2 million hectares of planted area by 2020.

Malaysia Employers Can Pay Foreign Workers Health Examination Fees Online

Malaysia employers of foreign workers can pay their workers’ health examination fees online via the Foreign Workers Medical Examination Monitoring Agency (Fomema) employers’ portal from today.

Its chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Hatar Ismail said the facility was introduced to enable employers conduct their businesses faster and more efficiently via the portal at https://portal.fomema.my/.

“We no longer have to use a scanner to scan related documents as conducted during the conventional registration process at Fomema branches, with the internet facility.

“All employers have to do is to open an account for user identity and password and register their foreign workers online via Financial Process Exchange (FPX), namely, a payment channel provided for 15 participating banks,” he said in a statement here today.

He said the existing registration method at all Fomema branches was still being continued to accommodate those employers who did not have internet facility.

Malaysia Government To Speed Up Process To Hire Bangladesh Workers

Minister says dire shortage in three sectors, resulting in billions of ringgits of losses, has made Cabinet to call for urgency in addressing demand. The process of bringing new foreign workers from Bangladesh will be expedited to cover the shortage of workers in three sectors, Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Mah Siew Keong said in an event last Friday.

mah-siew-keongHe added that the government was working with their Bangladeshi counterparts at the highest level to ensure that the demand was met for migrant workers as the plantation, rubber glove manufacturing and furniture sectors were in dire need of workers, The New Straits Times (NST) reported.

“Last week, the Cabinet directed Human Resources Minister Richard Riot Jaem to speed up the process of sourcing new hires from Bangladesh.

“My ministry is coordinating with relevant authorities to ease this problem so that you can meet the export orders,” Mah was quoted as saying at a dinner hosted by the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Furniture Industry Association in conjunction with its 60th anniversary in Subang.

Mah’s comments followed that of Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who told the Dewan Rakyat earlier last week of the impact the freeze on foreign workers had on the furniture and plantation sector so far this year.

On Nov 2, Zahid, who is also Home Minister, said Putrajaya’s decision to freeze the intake of foreign workers led to the furniture and plantation sector incurring losses of over RM7.7 billion this year.

The inability to hire sufficient manpower, Zahid said, saw the local furniture industry record RM6.7 billion in losses, while the plantation industry incurred losses of over RM1 billion.

Many furniture companies, he explained, were unable to deliver their products for the international market on time.

“The furniture exporters have signed agreements with foreign buyers but they cannot fulfil their obligations due to the insufficient workforce.

“I know that the furniture industry alone needs more than 8,000 Bangladeshi employees and they are waiting for the freeze on intake to be lifted due to production issues,” Zahid said in winding up the 2017 Budget for his ministry.

In February, the government suspended the recruitment of all legal foreign workers, including those from Bangladesh.

Then on May 12, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai told the press that the Cabinet was lifting the freeze for the manufacturing, plantation, construction and furniture sectors.

Soon after that however, former Immigration Director-General Sakib Kusmi was quoted as saying that the easing up would begin only after the government concluded its exercise to legalise illegal foreign workers.

Two Million Foreign Workers Hold Temporary Malaysia Working Permits

Almost two million foreign workers are holding valid temporary working permits in the country, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said a total of 1,854,684 foreign workers were holding the Temporary Employment Pass (PLKS) issued by the Immigration Department as of Sept this year.

“The highest number is from Indonesia (749,226), followed by Nepal (411,364), Bangladesh (237,991), Myanmar (140,259), India (121,430) and others (194,374),” said Dr Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Home Minister, in a written reply to Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut).

Lim had asked the government to reveal the total number of foreign workers and the policy in hiring them.

“The hiring of foreign workers is a temporary measure to fill the job vacancies. After the employment period is over, they are required to return back to their country of origin,” he said.

He noted that the government had made the decision on Feb 19 to suspend applications of new foreign workers including from Bangladesh until it completed the assessment on the real need of each industry.

“The levy imposed on foreign workers differs from each industry and was clustered according to its own categories,” he said.

Levy is set at RM1,850 for the first category, comprising the manufacturing, construction and service sector, said Dr Ahmad Zahid.

It is set at RM640 for the second category, comprising the agriculture and agro-industries, while for domestic helper, levy is set at RM410 per person.

Pessimism Prevails For Economy In Near Term, Sentiment Picks Up For 2018, says ACCCIM

“Attention should be focused on the issues that businesses face, as their adverse performance could have a significant impact on the economy. “Other concerns include a shortage of foreign workers in the country, which continues to impact the economy.

datuk-ter-leong-yap

The local Chinese business community is optimistic of a turnaround in the Malaysian economy in 2018, when conditions are expected to improve.

However, the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) said businesses surveyed showed pessimism this year and for 2017.

“The level of pessimism is somewhat reduced for 2017 and there is greater confidence in the economy by 2018,” it said, in its survey report on the economic situation for the first half of the year.

For the first six months of 2016, sales performance deteriorated in the manufacturing sector, in contrast with an improvement in the sales performance for businesses in the wholesale and retail sector.

The local Chinese business community is optimistic of a turnaround in the Malaysian economy in 2018, when conditions are expected to improve.

The local Chinese business community is optimistic of a turnaround in the Malaysian economy in 2018, when conditions are expected to improve.

Performance isn’t expected to improve in the near term, as businesses expect to experience ‘poor collections’ based on challenging conditions and cash flow issues.

The latest figures are in tandem with the growth pace of the Malaysian economy, which grew by 4.1 per cent in the first half of the year.

Private sector activity continues to be the main engine powering the growth.

“Attention should be focused on the issues that businesses face, as their adverse performance could have a significant impact on the economy.

“Other concerns include a shortage of foreign workers in the country, which continues to impact the economy, according to ACCCIM president Datuk Ter Leong Yap.

He urged the government to lift the freeze on foreign workers, saying most businesses are still facing labour shortage issues, resulting in a reduced ability to accept new orders or to operate manually.

The government has opened four sectors (manufacturing, construction, plantations and furniture-making industries) for application to employ foreign workers.

ACCCIM: Allow All Sectors In Malaysia To Hire Foreign Workers

The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) wants the government to allow all sectors in Malaysia to employ foreign workers, after 45% of the Chinese business community said they have been adversely affected by hiring restrictions.

datuk-ter-leong-yap

President Datuk Ter Leong Yap said the government’s move to limit the hiring of foreign workers to only four sectors namely construction, manufacturing, plantation & furniture has resulted in labour shortage, which has affected the operations of many businesses.

“ACCCIM urges the government to lift the freeze on foreign workers for all sectors in Malaysia and fully streamline the legalisation programme on foreign workers, and to carry out review and measures to formulate the conditions and guidelines on the employment of foreign workers based on the demand and supply of foreign labour in the respective sectors,” he told reporters at a briefing on ACCCIM’s Survey on the Economic Situation of Malaysia for the First Half of 2016 (1H 2016).

The survey revealed of the total 407 respondents, 40% said they rely on foreign workers and 45% said they were affected by the restriction.

Among those who were affected, 48% reported higher cost of operations, 35% reported a drop in business turnover, 11% reported negative business growth while 6% said they had to downsize their businesses to manage costs.

In terms of plans to solve the labour shortage issue, 44% would recruit more locals, 24.5% would adopt a wait-and-see approach while appealing to the government to lift the freeze, 14.1% would move towards automation, 11.4% would pass on costs incurred to customers, 4.3% would consider moving their businesses overseas and 1.6% would consider switching to less labour-intensive businesses.

“The capacity of production is actually quite low now compared with potential capacity. Factories have to turn away orders. For those with orders to fulfil, without enough workers, they pay overtime and when they pay overtime, cost goes up and productivity comes down. These are the effects,” said ACCCIM deputy secretary-general I Tan Sri Teo Chiang Kok.

He said the government’s move to reduce dependence on foreign labour is good but the policies introduced over the years seem to be knee-jerk reactions and do not address the root cause of the issue.

“We’re looking at the symptoms but not addressing the root cause and a lot of times it is putting obstacles and using threatening methods like freezing assets. This is not the way to address the issue of foreign workers,” he said.

Teo explained that with the country’s unemployment rate at 3.3%, which is technically full employment, there are just not enough local workers to meet all the labour needs of the economy.

Malaysia May “Open” Foreign Worker Market In A Week, Said Expat Minister

The Malaysian government may open its foreign workers job market for the Bangladeshi workers within seven days, expatriates’ welfare minister said Thursday. He said Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur recently has informed the ministry that the market will be open shortly.

bangladeshi-worker

“The Malaysian market may be open within seven days as our Bangladesh mission has given such indication,” Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment (EWOE) minister Nurul Islam said.

He was speaking to reporters after the launch of Probash Bandhu call centre at the Probashi Kallayan Bhaban in the city.

He also said they will fix migration cost for Malaysia-bound workers immediately after opening of the market.

Replying to a query, the minister said that workers will be selected from the existing database. “We have already enlisted a large number of workers. Workers will be sent from the existing database.”

Mr Islam said foreign workers will be sent through private recruitment companies.

When contacted, Bangladesh Association of International Recruiting Agencies (BAIRA) secretary general Ruhul Amin said that the Southeast Asian country needs a significant number of foreign workers to run their trade and services sectors.

“We hope nearly 250,000 workers will get employment opportunities every year in the Malaysian market”.

When asked, the BAIRA leader said they would follow what were stipulated in the deal which was signed between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur in fixing migration cost.

He said they will try to keep the migration cost for Malaysia-bound workers at a ‘rational’ level.

Abdur Rouf, joint secretary of the ministry of EWOE, told the FE the ministry would set up a cell in Malaysia to oversee whether private agencies formed syndicates, charged extra migration costs and exploited workers.

The cell will monitor the overall migration process to the Malaysian market. Representatives from the Bangladesh mission in Malaysia, expatriate welfare ministry and manpower recruiters’ association will work in the cell, he said.

“So, fraudulent manpower agencies will not be able to cheat the workers,” he said.

He said Malaysia will recruit workers in five sectors, including service, construction, manufacturing, plantation and farming.

Nearly 600,000 Bangladeshi workers have been staying in Malaysia, of which 70 per cent are working in the construction sector, while 30 per cent in plantation, according to sector insiders.

Meanwhile, the expatriate welfare minister launched call centre named ‘Probash Bandhu’ for expatriate workers in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Jordan.

Bangladeshi workers will get swift services from the centre. The centre will receive call from workers from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.

The expatriate workers will be able to discuss on their passport-related problems, legal issues, sending back dead bodies, sending back sick and wounded workers and financial support, compensations, stipend etc through the call centre.

The workers can also lodge complaints if they don’t get due services from the government.

The complaints will be forwarded to the departments concerned for due action. The ministry will introduce the same facilities for other destination countries gradually.
