MEF: Foreign worker transit centre must be one-stop facility to ease arrivals
KUALA LUMPUR: A proposed foreign worker transit centre must operate as a coordinated one-stop facility to prevent delays and bottlenecks in the arrival process, the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) said.
The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) has called for a proposed foreign worker transit centre to operate as a coordinated one-stop facility to ease the arrival process for incoming workers. MEF President Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman emphasized the need for a streamlined process, stating that the centre should be a coordinated one-stop arrangement where verification, documentation, and other related procedures can be completed efficiently.
This would help reduce congestion, unnecessary delays, and bottlenecks for both employers and foreign workers. Additionally, Syed Hussain stressed the importance of implementing safeguards to ensure that the transit, screening, and documentation processes are streamlined rather than creating new bottlenecks. The MEF believes that the proposed centre, combined with the government's push for digitalization of foreign worker recruitment applications, should be part of a broader effort to create a more integrated, transparent, and efficient foreign worker management system.
