The government has approved applications from employers to hire some 200,000 migrant workers for vacancies in “unpopular sectors” among the domestic workforce. Human Resources Minister M Saravanan said most of the vacancies filled by new migrant workers had been advertised on the ministry’s My Future Job portal for over a year. “Those who continue to raise this issue must understand that just the plantation sector alone recorded losses of RM20 billion last year,” said Saravanan at a press conference after a function hosted by the Social Security Organisation (Socso) in Kuala Lumpur.
