Register foreign workers or face the music, Sabah plantation owners warned

KOTA KINABALU: Employers have been reminded to register their foreign workers under the regularisation programme that was reactivated in September.

Sabah Immigration Department director Datuk Sharifah Sitti Saleha Habib Yusoff said the programme, which was initiated in 2019, was to address the issue of undocumented migrants from Indonesia and the Philippines, mostly working without valid work permits in the plantation and farming sectors in the state.
