The Malaysian government is lifting the freeze on hiring foreign workers for four sectors. “In view of the acute shortage, we have to lift the suspension to allow these sectors to bring in foreign workers,” Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai says.

The Malaysian government says that it will partially lift a ban on the hiring of low-skilled foreign workers, just two months after halting their intake.

The Malaysian government is yet to inform anything officially to the Bangladesh authorities about their recent suspension of foreign workers recruitment.
