News Strait Times reported that Malaysia has begun implementing a program to repatriate undocumented foreign workers under the migrant repatriation program from now until December 31.
These subjects are encouraged that, upon returning home, they will not face legal action.
According to preliminary statistics, Malaysia currently has about 600.000 foreign workers without valid documents. They may be people previously registered under the Workforce Readjustment Program (WRP).
It allows employers to legalize workers and obtain licenses in sectors such as manufacturing and construction. There are currently 848 cases registered to participate in the migrant repatriation program after an announcement from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
