PUTRAJAYA: To prevent critical sectors from suffering losses due to a lack of workers, a new category of employers is now allowed to participate in the Labour Recalibration Plan, while work permits for foreign workers in the plantation sector that are about to expire will be extended for another year.

The Labour Recalibration Plan has now been extended to employers in the sub-sectors of the service industry – restaurants, cargo, wholesale and retail, and cleaning services.
