PUTRAJAYA: For one month beginning today, the immigration department will educate employers nationwide that it is an offence to deploy foreign workers as frontliners.
He said the education process would include providing brochures, dialogue sessions with employers and meetings with organisations involved.
Speaking to reporters here today, he said employing foreigners as frontliners was an offence under the Immigration Regulations 1963, adding that the department had not approved any request to put foreign workers as frontliners, except for security services.
Meanwhile, Abdul Rahman said the department would not hesitate to act against employers who reaped benefits by avoiding higher levies when hiring foreigners to work.
"This will only incur losses to the government," he said. - BERNAMA
