Parliament: 2.6 million registered foreign workers

THERE are some 2.6 million registered foreign workers in the country who hold a valid pass from the Immigration Department, says Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

However, he said the actual number of illegal immigrants in the country could not be ascertained at this time as most of them had registered under the 6P Bersepadu legalisation programme implemented earlier.
