The Human Resources Ministry was today given rare praise by an opposition MP for swiftly responding to industry complaints over foreign worker recruitment.
In a statement today, Beruas MP Ngeh Khoo Ham said he had on July 26 in Parliament debunked Human Resources Minister M Saravanan's claim that employers can apply for foreign workers online without an agent.
Following this, Ngeh said he was called for two meetings with Saravanan, where the former provided proof that agents were paying bribes of RM1,500 to those in the Human Resources Ministry for each foreign worker sought by employers.
