KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is halting the recruitment of new foreign workers into the country with immediate effect, it announced on Saturday (Mar 12).

However, the decision, which was made at a Cabinet meeting on Friday, would not involve the domestic help or maid sector, according to Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

Employers who wanted to hire foreign workers should recruit the existing foreign employees in the country, including those whose permits had expired, he added.

This also meant that the country’s initial plan to bring in 1.5 million Bangladeshi workers would be “closed”.

Employers or agents found guilty of protecting illegal foreign workers will be subjected to whipping. "Whipping will be meted out by courts because the punishment with fine has no effect as employers and agents still keep bringing in illegal foreign workers," said*Ahmad*Zahid.

He also added that the sentence was meant to dismiss the false allegation that the government was trying to make a profit out of the recruitment process. The government had given ample opportunities for employees to register their foreign workers, he said.

Employers have until Jun 30 to legalise foreign workers. Those who want to hire foreign workers should submit their applications to the Malaysian Employers Federation, Malaysian Trades Union Congress and the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, added*Ahmad*Zahid. *
