M Saravanan says the ministry also heard complaints about employers who received subsidies but did not pay their workers.
He said the forgeries were detected when the companies applied for wage subsidies totalling RM31 million for 14,800 workers. “They will be blacklisted and now we are probing the employers so we can take legal action,” he said after officiating the Human Resources Development Fund initiative under the Penjana economic stimulus package in Johor today.
