Committee formed to investigate failure to send workers to Malaysia
A notice urges workers who missed the deadline to submit their details—including name, full address, mobile phone number, recruiting agency name, passport number, and a copy of the BMET smart card—via email to enquiry.committee.malaysia@gmail.com.
A six-member probe committee has been established to investigate the failure of recruiting agencies to send workers to Malaysia by the 31 May deadline.
The Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment Ministry announced the formation of the committee, which is led by an additional secretary from the ministry. The committee will examine why workers were not sent to Malaysia despite having received approval and smart cards issued by the Bureau of Manpower Employment Training (BMET), according to a revised notice issued today.
The notice also urges workers who missed the deadline to submit their details—including name, full address, mobile phone number, recruiting agency name, passport number, and a copy of the BMET smart card—via email to enquiry.committee.malaysia@gmail.com.
