PETALING JAYA: The government has blacklisted a company that brought in 171 Bangladeshi nationals into the country with promises of jobs in Johor but failed to find them employment. He also said the company's conditional approval letter was hereby revoked with no refunds on levies paid, and its remaining quota of foreign workers cancelled. "Actions are being taken to ensure that employers fulfill their responsibilities towards foreign workers," read the statement on Saturday (Jan 6). He added that both ministries would monitor and inspect employers who bring in foreign workers through the Foreign Worker Employment Flexibility Plan. Saifuddin said a special meeting was also scheduled between the two ministers on Jan 16 to discuss a Cabinet proposal to freeze foreign worker employment quota applications and other measures to improve the governance of foreign worker employment in the country.
