PUTRAJAYA, Dec 24 — The government has now ordered that all foreign workers in Malaysia must undergo mandatory Covid-19 screening at the start of 2021.
Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said any employers who fail to comply with this directive will face legal and financial penalties under Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988.
“The decision was made by the National Security Council after the Human Resources Ministry informed us that there are some employers who still refuse to cooperate in getting their staff tested for Covid-19,” he said in his press conference.
