To New Malaysia

As actively involving agent who has almost 20 years’ experience on labour market in malaysia, i would like give some opinion and suggestion to improve overall management of foreign worker in our new malaysia.

First we start from getting approval for foreign worker in KDN. Let say  a employer manage to obtain a kdn approval for 50 workers for manufacturing which his factory need in urgently. Next step he need register in FWCMS and submit for calling. In Kdn approval stated that the manufacturer only can bring in workers from source country which is Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand,Nepal,Indonesia, Philipine, Pakistan, Uzbakistan, Turkanistan, Srilanka,Combodia, Laos, Vietnam. Out of this country, Bangladesh, Mynmar, and Nepal can’t bring in for the moment because of there is no proper mechanism in way . The major country source of workers literally eliminated. India workers not a source country and Indonesian male cant be employed in factories. Now the left is other not favorable countries which Malaysia manufacturer need to do hard work to get reliable workers. This kind situation left them in lurch and eventually encourage them hire illegal. If let say the manufacturer found workers from particular source country and applied calling visa through Fwcms and it would take another month for the workers to arrive. Then if there is some workers do not come after calling visa out , the replacement workers must be from same source of country which i feel is not fair to employers side. For information before FWCMS implemented employer can apply any other source country workers for replacement. The system should be improved but it has been modified to satisfy the vendor not employer.

Source country dilemma existing since 20 years back and we don’t know what the basis of choosing source countries. Why Indonesian male and India which has pool of workers can’t be source country for manufacturing? The world keeps up changing but law in KDN hasn’t change for past 20 years. The same kind of problems happening in other sector as well. For the moment employer can’t bring in workers from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Nepal which make 3/5 of total registered workers. After paying levy about rm1850 (not including coffee money) for each worker, employer has to struggle to find workers

The real problem in our country is about illegals not the registered 1.89m workers. All registered workers particulars even their thumb prints all in system and can retrieve any point of time. Jtk and kdn always come up new mechanism for this registered workers but not for hindering illegals. I suggest JTKSM and Kdn focus on illegals which more damaging our sovereignty. First pls improve myimm system which control in n out tourist and immigration. For your information, since visa on arrival implemented, all blacklisted gain entry to our country easily because the system doesn't work as promised but become money generating machine for vendor. A simple checking can prove my statement. The immigration system should be like in Singapore or China. Every entry should be monitored to eliminate tourist visa misused cz illegal get entry mostly through air . In china, they have amassing system can trace whereabouts of a single tourist within minute. Spend money on system.

it world known truth that Malaysia had a licensed human trafficking system called SPPA . Luckily it was abolished since pakatan taken over. Thought the system hundreds of workers brought in as legal and made them illegals within 6 months of time because of brecurassy and bribery. Well connected vendors collect not less than rm15k to 20k from each worker in Bangladesh and send  them to Malaysia employers. Just go ask these workers how they repaying their loan in Bangladesh with minimum wage they get from employers. Most of them look for better payment employer within Malaysia for their survival and end up as illegals. Whom to blame on this? Politician and vendors who raked million from this Bangladeshi workers still roaming freely but normal Malaysian expected to pay new taxes in coming budget. So a right system should be in place so that legal workers should be protected not abused. Online renewal and mandatory insurance are welcomed.

My suggestion.

       

 1)    Give 3 months’ probation period for new worker who arriving in calling visa. Within these three month of time worker can decide whether they want stick to employer or return to country. By given this option, workers would not work if employer didn’t follow what he promised while reqruitment. Employer too can choose worker which suit to his work condition and employ permanently. Three months initial salary can be used to send back the worker if not suited. Allow replacement calling visa immediate. The 3 months’ probation period can be given when the worker enter to country. Currently they are giving 1 month. So no extra workload to immigration

         

  2)      Service sectors approval mainly for restaurant should emulate Sabah immigration method.  Number of foreign worker should be given based on restaurant size and operational hours. If the restaurant is in corner lot and operate 24 hours it should be given 6 workers. Not more than that. If it operates in middle plot, approve 3 people immediate once they submit with tenancy agreement and license from local authorities. By this new comer with new brand and foreign investor with new idea can open up restaurant which eventually enrich our country. So there is no favors for big mamak restaurant which so long depend on foreign workers to open up branches all over nation. Be fair to all by system. Don’t give backdoor approval. By this way, slowly restaurant operator can move to new level where less depends on foreign workers. This how matured countries did early days.

        

   3)       Barbers, jewelers, textile workers approvals should not be given. Ask employer recruit locals and don’t listen to their association plight. Most of the owners running business 100% depend on foreign worker.  If they want stay in business they have to move forward by using system  or go ground again to do daily basis business not by employing cheap foreigner to run business

      

    4)        New workers age limit should be increased to 50 or abolish the limit follow world trend and not sticking with 20 years policy which currently in practice.

      

    5)     Abolish CLAB. It is licensed outsource agent company run by previous government cronies. Give approvals direct to employers. There is no significant contribution by CLAB to construction industry in Malaysia. Ask Cidbs opinion.Please get back employers feedback too on CLABs services and their monopolies

 Would be continue.....

RERERE HIRING

sorry guys for late posting. This time i really cant give good reason for why i didn't update my blog regularly. to say short all because of my bad time management.
Anyway here is some news that i would like to share with you all.

• Rehiring program going to end this month 30/6/2017.
• Here is the list of an eligable group of illegals who can participate. 

1. a tourist who enter Malaysia before 30/03/2016
2. whoever holding an expired permit. not matter when it expired. including expired year 10th work permit
3.  worker who holding dp10 pass n expired.

• Employer who wish legalize the worker pls pay a vist to immgartion so that you can get full picture
• Don't ever choose myeg as your vendor. choose bukti megah or iman.
• there is no change for workers who exceed the age limit 44. 
• worker who entered after 30/03/2016 contact agent and consult what and how they can help. always there is way when have will
• the rehiring process really a tedious process and definitely will take time. dont ask question cz there is no answer for any progressive question.

I can understand so many people's frustration on how immigration conducting this program even though they have experience running this kind program few time in this decade. there is no venue to complain about myeg. you go myeg they will push you to immigration and vice versa. end of the day employer who has no patient will make myeg share surge more n more. don't ask what happen to your money. you f no right. our immigration director, as usual, will give warning and threaten employers but would never go agents the 3 licensed agents who collecting money but let all work done by immigration officers. As i know ecard, thumbprint, sp, approval, data entry and stiker all do by immigration officers of each state. the three licensed company collect money and do administration job which they get paid handsomely. Nobody even imm director who came from macc also has no gut to questioning them. Don't ever ask why an employer can't go direct deal with immigartion as we knew they the one doing all the job. i can hear you telling somethng but no question pls. i can keep on writing unjustified, corrupted system all day along but do it can give any benefit for you or me? the anser is no.so we learn to follow the flow. 

The 3+1 program also still in force.illegals can go back to their country by paying to cronie company and rm400 to immigration. if do have any quarries pls wats app. i try to help by giving any information that i knew . tq

ADA LAGI

Almost five months i didn't update my blog and sure some of your guys think i am out of this industry. No at all. i am still in industry and getting busier each month. i wld like to share some info and hope will help you guys.

• Myeg rehiring program still on and the conditions are more flexible now. It would cost you around 5k. Employers do register yourself. The programe expected would continue untill end of this year cz myeg make good money on this. the number of illegal who register in rehiring spike  the day after new imm dg announce that they will confiscate employer properties and freeze bank accnt who hires illegal.

• Nomore manual submission for Dp 10 appilcation . All new application must do throught ESD 

• Iilegal still can go back their countries by paying rm400 compaun. Bangladeshi who wish go back should contact karicom and indonesian Imam Resources. 

• Kdn approval are ongoing. They accepting construction,plantation and manufucturing files. If the company have required document can submit file directly to KDN.No need JCS. Just attach JCS registration  form together. But now mostly menteri signed files only moving. So as usual if want to get kdn quato pls approach kuncu kuncu menteri. 

• Lot of maid employer calling me asking about legalizing their maid.Here is my sincere advice. If you want hire a maid find a maid anywhere and any means. Let her work for few month illegally. Donot worry. But make sure you do basic medical check up each every maid coming into you house in the process. Once you satisfied with the maid then look for agent to legalise. Keeping maid illegally is against law but for current situation we normal people have no option unless u willing to spend thousand of ringgit. Legalising a maid will cost you from 4k to 7k. In this bolehland nothing impossible if you f money.

 Employing foreign workers become costly nowdays . With increasing cost, some industries traditionally depend on foreign worker have to out of the market soon. I can surelly say that almost all mama shops in kl running with illegals. Chinease and Malay food shoops  along time ago practicing this. there is no chances illegal foreign workers problem can be solved . It not easy for new entrepreneur   who  wish to employ foreign worker legally nowadays. Consulate with few manpower ppl before invest in foreign workers intensive business .

Reriching alias Rehiring

hi friends..sorry for  a late blog..here i want to share some information that could help you guys

• Starting 2pm from today, i mean from 21/4/16 all 6p permit can be renewed in myeg like normal renewal up to 10 years. Just go online in myeg and do renewal. As usual the employers who follow rules and send back their workers become idiot of the year. if they do follow my blogs earlier they surely not had made that mistake.
• Now the terms for rehiring process become easier a bit. No kdn interview as said earlier . All process fully handle by immigration. Even the levy can be paid in immigration.
• As what i heard from officers, only  minimum document needed to get approved and they have been told to approve almost all the cases
• Four category people not entitled in rehiring a)blacklisted worker b)workers who blocked by employers c) ppl who entered country illegally (by jalan tikus) d) student visa holder. Any other foreign worker can be registered in rehiring programe. Even a permit holder who intend to change employer also can be register. (this one i am not 100% sure but told by Immigration officer who incharge for this program to me)  
• Bukti Megah doing smooth job in rehiring program. Myeg catching up but their process taking time. 
• Cost still same around rm5000 each worker. register in myeg will cost 1200 then special pass will cost rm900 then levy will coct rm2050 then include medical rm200.
• Dont give agent to do it cz almost all handle by the 3 appointed company and other agents cnt compete with this licenced crony agent.
• Illegals who intend go back home country still can do so by paying compaun rm400 without prosecution.
• Maid not included in rehiring programe.
• 6p permit can be renew through agent in putrajaya too.. 

SOS call announced by employer community through paper to address the shortage of workers in market. As you all aware ppl in putrajaya never worried about economy and only worried about their own position and will do anything to please their stupid bosses. What we can do for now is just pay the amount and get legalize the workers. For worker who want to register themself without working to employer find a trustful Malaysian who can really help. Dont do same mistake as in 6p

Rehiring 2.0

 After one month start of rehiring programme, only 15k illegals registered in online. more interesting news is none of them yet to be confirmed to be legalise. As i know almost every 5 to six years once kdn doing legalise process but still do not understand and learn the market needs and what the right thing should do to solve illegal problem. You know y? cz always politician use this illegal issue to money making scheme

So as stupid rakyat we just need to follow what they decide and go an with what they directed as to do. If not, rules of law will be used on u. They are above law. Come to point, register your illegal workers in rehiring website. The website is user friendly. Pay  around 1200 to each worker then wait myeg come to your place to take thumb print of workers. They will give each a simcard too. Dont ask why they cant use current sim card. the rm 1200 including workers bg and insurance. In the scenario when your worker not eligible in this  rehiring process, the money not refundable and it shows how carrying is our kdn to illegals where by we provide medical benefit event thought the workers are not yet under permit

Next step myeg and consortium will follow up your process in immigration. Immmigration will issue sp to proceed to kdn for eligible workers and sp for sending back  disqualify workers. Whitin the sp expiry myeg and consortium will arrange interview in kdn for employer. Once kdn approve, employer can pay levy and proceed to immigration to bring out calling. This the steps involve in rehiring process as far as i understood.

What should i do? register or no? 

The total cost of legalese illegals in this process would be around rm5000 to 7000. The workers who legalized in this rehiring programme only can work max 5year and most of them eligible for 3 years only.My advice is if your workers are Bangladeshi n working in allowed sectors and if you think your paper requirement can meet to 85% of kdn normal requirement, then you may apply. I dont recommend to source country workers since they can be legalized some sort of way if want  with less cost and can get longer period of working years. this all only my opinion. the market requirement and situation in different for each sector and workers so u must decide is it worth to invest that much money on our workers.

Belakang way and confirm approval scheme not yet start and employer may wait until this kick start. But i think surely will run cz this the reason they create legalisation process. So happy decide..

6p opening up?

Hi..sorry for long break...only today i managed buy new pc after old one damaged.
ya true 6p opening up on 15/2/2016. But this time it will be called as rehiring and not 6p. As normal and expected our beloved ..... government going to come up with ludicrous strategy to legalize illegal.

Until writing time i have little information on how the process going to be. As i said in my earlier post, please wait until KDN announce full process. For Myanmar nationalist the rehiring program conducted by Bukti Megah sdn bhd. A ministers crony company. All employer who intend to legalise their Myanmar worker must go to this company which based in Johor but have sub branches  all over states to register their worker. this company will help do legalisation process with fees. Before the levy high the fees is about rm5800 for each worker complete until sticker.  I have seen this company representative doing the work in immigration daily. Employer may call the manager in charge(Bukti Megah) Regina 0166161491 for further information.

For Indonesian they must go to Iman Resources to do legalisation. But i have little information how they conducting the process. Apart from this two companies other nationalities fate most probably would fall under MYeg and consortium. All of them minister level networked foreign worker agents. Their main propose is to make money by creating system in the name of helping government to legalize illegal. But i am sure the fees also will be around rm6k.  Surprisingly other day minister mention about legalize in online without paying middle man which give some hope for thousand of workers who earning less than 1500 a month.

Now government and cronies take advantage on vulnerable migrant workers to make money because they have less money in gov coffer to enjoy like previous years. Workers are the last victim cz almost all employer will touch the workers salary to cover legalization fees.

From previous experience i want give some advice's for workers and employers  who intend participate in rehiring process

• Please wait and collect some information before start to go register because normally the fees will be high for few weeks until the market correct itself later part
• Dont ever give full money to agent. please collect ic photocopy of agent if you want to give agent to run for you becaus there is so many cheating cases in previous legalization process.
• For worker who intend to be independent than employer,  find reliable employer which you personally know. If you dnt have one, consulate with good friend which have more experience hence been in malaysia for long
• Make sure medically fit before start register
• Start apply passport now in embassy if dont have one
• check worker status in immigration in online under https://eservices.imi.gov.my/myimms/VPAStslng
• Be aware if agent offer something other agents said impossible to do.

i will update more often after this..Happy Chinese new year
