PUTRAJAYA: More than 7,000 legal foreign workers have already completed the biometric registration nationwide since it was launched three days ago, Home Ministry deputy secretary general Datuk Alwi Ibrahim said here.

He said the response from the legal workers was slow on the first day but has subsequently picked up.

“A total of 626 companies had made appointments and brought their legal foreign workers for the registration so far,” he told reporters at a press conference here on Friday.

Alwi said another 114 companies had also made appointments to bring their legal foreign workers to various immigration offices in the country.
