Don’t fall for foreign worker freeze fiasco, says Perkasa’s Ibrahim Ali

Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali has warned the people against being "too excited" over the announcement on the freezing of foreign worker intake into the country as it could be a ruse. "Don't be too excited with this drama on the freeze on the intake of 1.5 million Bangladesh workers. "I'm concerned that this freeze is merely to defuse the anger of the people when in fact, the workers will still be allowed into the country," he said in a YouTube video uploaded by blogger Minaq Jinggo. Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Friday said that Putrajaya was putting on hold recruitment of foreign workers from all source countries, including Bangladesh. His announcement came a day after the Malaysian and Bangladesh governments signed an memorandum of understanding to bring in 1.5 million workers from the South Asian country over the next three years. – February 21, 2016.
