Govt to consider allowing big companies to fund deportation costs of illegal immigrants

: The proposal to allow large companies to bear the deportation costs of illegal immigrants in immigration detention depots will be brought to the Cabinet soon, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

Hamzah said the proposal would be considered to help industry players obtain the quota of foreign workers faster. “If big companies want them fast, they can take that one, send them back and we allow replacement with one to one ratio,“ he told reporters after holding a meeting with Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan on the management of foreign workers here today.

He said the last study on the policy was done on Dec 20, 2016 and there was a need for improvement to ensure a balance in meeting human resource needs by prioritising local manpower over foreign labours, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic.
