Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said the Return Recalibration Programme allows undocumented migrants to return to their country of origin voluntarily subject to specific stipulated conditions.
The Labour Recalibration Programme regularises undocumented migrants in the country as foreign workers who could be employed by eligible employers subject to stringent conditions determined by the government through the Immigration Department and the Peninsular Malaysia Labour Department (JTKSM), he said.
“We are still freezing (the hiring of) new foreign workers to Malaysia and it is still going on.
“The plan is for undocumented migrants in the country who wish to work legally and for those who want to return to their countries of origin to do so. We are giving a period up to June 30,” he said when launching the plan at the Home Ministry in Putrajaya today.
Hamzah said the plan would be implemented by the Immigrant Department with the strategic cooperation of JTKSM as well as other government agencies without involving vendor or third parties. - Bernama
