Malaysia will not hire foreign workers until the epidemic of coronavirus is eradicated. Mohammad Khairuddin Aman Rajali.

In this regard, he said, the government is also evaluating the ability of companies following the Covid-19 standard operating system to provide housing. Strict SOPs are in place to ensure that there is no outbreak in the number of foreign-dependent sectors.

If this process is successful, the government will consider hiring foreign workers. However, in all cases, the Malaysian staff will be given priority. The government will also take up rehabilitation programs by recruiting illegal immigrants to fill vacancies in some sectors, the minister said.
