PETALING JAYA: Confusion over the implementation of reduced levy for extending the services of foreign workers in five sectors has been cleared, say industry players. “Retaining foreign workers with 10 years experience would result in higher productivity. “It also means that they would be able to train other non-skilled foreign workers and help reduce the need for more foreign workers in the long term,” Foo said in an interview here yesterday. Although there was some delay in gazetting the reduced levy rates, it is timely,” he said. But it was explained on Thursday that the delay in implementation of the lower levy rates was due to legal processes.
