KUALA LUMPUR: The full report on recruiting foreign workers, including from Nepal, will be known in one or two months, said Deputy Human Resource Minister Datuk Mahfuz Omar.
He said the report from the Independent Committee on the Management of Foreign Workers would be studied before the ministry could restructure Independent Committee and all related matters will also be taken into consideration in the report,” he told reporters when observing the registration of new students at the Industrial Training Institute (ILP) of Kuala Lumpur in Jalan Kuchai Lama here yesterday.
A total of 3,800 new students registered at 32 ILP under the Manpower Department across the country for session one, 2019.
Last May, the Nepal government suspended the entry of workers from that country into Malaysia due to the various fees imposed on its people working in the country.
Following this, Human Resource Minister M. Kula Segaran held discussions and signed a memorandum of understanding with the Nepal government in October.
On the replacement for Permatang Pauh Member of Parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar as chairman of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Empowerment Committee, Mahfuz said it was up to the Cabinet to decide.
“It is a Cabinet-appointed post, so it is up to the Prime Minister and Cabinet to decide whether there will be a replacement or not,” he added.
Last Dec 17, Nurul Izzah resigned as PKR vice-president and chairman of Penang PKR, as well as government-related posts. – Bernama
