Foreign Labour Policy: Getting It Right?

The very next day, the Home Ministry announced a freeze on the intake of all foreign workers.

And happening concurrently is the rehiring programme to legalise undocumented foreign workers.

We sit down with Deputy Home Minister, Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, to cut through the cloud of confusion over the current state of our foreign labour policy.
