Amnesty programme only after all legal foreign workers in biometric system
By MAZWIN NIK ANIS

PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has decided that all the two million legal foreign workers be registered and included in the biometric system before starting on a similar exercise for the illegal ones, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the Cabinet felt this should be done first, especially when there was information that unscrupulous people were trying to make quick cash from the Government's intention to register illegal foreign workers in the country.

He said the Government was informed that certain parties, upon hearing that the Government wanted to register illegal workers, had planned to "turn the legal workers into illegals and make some money from this."

"The Cabinet has decided to push back the timeline to register illegal foreign workers and concentrate on putting the legal ones into the biometric system first.

"The employers will be tasked to come out and register their workers and details of this exercise, including its commencement date will be announced by the Home Ministry," he told reporters Thursday.

Muhyiddin said he had agreed to the ministry's request for some time to register the existing pool of foreign workers the market.

He said even though they have valid work permits, these workers must be in the biometric system so that their movement "especially from one work place to another", could be closely monitored.

The Star reported that the programme to legalise and grant amnesty to an estimated two million illegals in the country - scheduled to start on Monday - had been deferred so that the authorities have more time to prepare for the mammoth exercise.

On June 23, the Government announced a two-week legalisation and amnesty exercise - codenamed 6P - during which illegal foreign workers and their employers would be spared from legal action if they took part in the drive.

The 6P programme comprises registration, legalisation, amnesty, supervision, enforcement and deportation and was expected to take six months to complete.

副揆:限期内参与者不受对付 外劳漂白计划下月启动

副揆:限期内参与者不受对付 外劳漂白计划下月启动

(吉隆坡22日讯)副首相丹斯里慕尤丁说,由内政部主导的“6P计划”(登记、漂白、特赦、监督、执法及驱逐)将在今年7月11日启动,凡参与此计划的雇主及非法外劳,决不会受到对付。

他说,内政部及相关指定公司,将从7月11日起的首两个星期,推动让非法外劳登记的环节。

视情况延长登记期限

“我们将视情况需要,再磋商是否延长登记的期限……我们促请聘请非法外劳的雇主,积极参与这项‘漂白’计划。”

慕尤丁今日在国会主持外劳和非法移民内阁委员会后,在记者会上这么说。

在场者包括内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁及人力资源部长拿督苏巴马念。

采生物识别系统登记

他说,尽管政府预计在今年杪才完成“6P计划”,但凡没参与登记行动的非法外劳及雇主,将在登记期限结束后,受到执法当局严厉对付。Z

慕尤丁说,内政部将采用“生物识别系统”登记,以掌握非法外劳的居住地点、薪金及雇主等资料。

他说,透过合法证件入境,最后在我国经商的非法经营业者,也被列入“漂白”的对象。至于他们届时是否获准无执照经营,这涉及执法方面的问题,我们到时会处理。

完成登记将获证件

慕尤丁说,内政部已和各国的驻马大使馆达至合作,协助解决一旦发生非法外劳没有合法文件的问题。

“一旦非法外劳完成登记工作,将获得由内政部发出的证明文件,例如临时准证或临时工作证。”

他承诺参与“6P计划”的外劳及雇主,其工作及业务暂时不会受到影响,因为政府在初步阶段,只是为了收集资料。

慕尤丁说:“我们汲取了在沙巴州的经验,所以在推行这项计划时,我们尽量避免‘影响’到雇主的业务……非法外劳在完成登记工作后,将返回原来工作的地方。”

询及这是否非法外劳最后一次“漂白”的机会,慕尤丁则是不愿正面回应,只是表示非法外劳应把握大马政府所给予的机会。

“每个国家都有法令,所以一旦他们违反法令,他们自然就会受到对付。”

未决定遣返过剩外劳

副首相慕尤丁说,政府目前还没有决定,是否将把过剩的外劳送返原居地。

他说,政府已有一系列的计划,只是目前不宜公布,避免非法外劳不愿参与登记。

他说,在“6P计划”下,政府可确实掌握国内各领域及次领域所需的外劳人数,各部门也会接洽各领域的商团、组织及公司,找出有关领域所需的劳力。

“例如在园丘业方面,(种植及原产部长丹斯里)柏纳东博刚才说这领域还需要20万名劳工,在完成登记工作后,我们届时即可安排(过剩)的劳工工作。”

各领域空缺7月杪出炉

慕尤丁说,国内各领域所需的劳力的数据,预料将在7月杪出炉,届时“6P计划”之下的登记工作,同样也已完成。

他强调,国内的空缺会优先由国人填补,只有在国人不愿填补的情况下,有关空缺才由外劳填补,因此外界毋以为外劳优先获得工作机会。

The massive legalisation and amnesty exercise for illegal immigrants, codenamed “6P”, will commence with a two-week registration drive beginning July 11.

KUALA LUMPUR: The massive legalisation and amnesty exercise for illegal immigrants, codenamed “6P”, will commence with a two-week registration drive beginning July 11.

During this period, illegal foreign workers and their employers will be spared legal prosecution if they participate in the drive.

Announcing this, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin described the 6P programme as a “total package solution”.

“The Government has embarked on this amnesty initiative so that we will have the latest and updated list on foreign workers in the country,” he said, adding that it will also reduce the number of illegal workers.

Speaking to reporters after chairing the Cabinet committee meeting on foreign and illegal workers here yesterday, Muhyiddin said the 6P programme comprises registration, legalisation, amnesty, supervision, enforcement and deportation.

It is the most comprehensive programme ever undertaken to cut down on the number of illegal immigrants.

The exercise is expected to take six months to complete.

(布城8日訊)內政部長拿督斯里希山慕丁透露,他將於10月間訪問中國,通過雙邊關係,解決中國公民在大馬逾期逗留的問題。

他希望這項問題在中國公民未入境大馬之前,就有管道加以解決。


他表示,即使政府發出3個月的社交簽證給中國公民,仍然發生非法逾期逗留的問題。

希山慕丁今日為“警方特別配備展”主持推介禮後,發表談話。

“我也會和中國方面討論生物識別系統。”

14日與公司談非法移民漂白

針對政府要落實的非法移民漂白行動,他透露,內政部已訂於6月14日和參與漂白行動的組織和公司舉行首次會議;有關單位獲鑑定參與漂白行動後,才能進一步決定收費等細節。

他指出,生物識別系統在國內63個入境關卡執行並沒有面對問題,印尼人從航空或海路抵境,當局都能應付,有問題只是發生在新加坡人出入境的新山。

他說,有關問題已解決50%,而且解決的過程順利。

此外,他重申,利用漂白行動,擅自向非法外勞收費的公司,一旦查實,不管有關公司的記錄有多良好,一樣會被列入黑名單。

至於有多少家公司會被列入黑名單,他說,目前言之過早。

KUALA LUMPUR: A new transitional income tax will be introduced, under which returning Malaysian professionals will be eligible for a flat rate of 15% income tax for five years, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said this was to encourage more Malaysian working abroad, with their varied experience and expertise, to return and play an active part in Malaysia's economic transformation.

內政部:延長外勞工作准證‧餐館工廠可申請“5+5”

內政部:延長外勞工作准證‧餐館工廠可申請“5+5”

* 國內

2011-03-11 11:10

(布城10日訊)內政部秘書長拿督斯里馬末阿當說,政府將考慮將目前已經在國內工作5年的外勞服務期限,再延長多5年,而受惠的領域,並不僅限於種植業,也包括目前可以聘請外勞的領域。

他今日在文告中指出,有必要保留這些擁有豐富經驗的合法外勞,因為這與提高國家生產力及競爭力息息相關。

他說,政府之前發出指示,要求針對延長各領域外勞的工作準證需求進行深入研究。

他說:“根據這項研究,以及國家工業和經濟領域的利益,政府已決定讓目前聘請外勞的領域,落實‘5+5’准證的措施。”

政府在去年5月宣佈,只允許油棕種植業在他們聘請的外勞工作滿5年後,繼續工作5年,以解決人手短缺問題及留著擁有經驗的外勞。

較後時,馬末阿當說,所有曾要求政府延長外勞工作准證期限多5年的領域或行業,都會受考慮。

這意味著“5+5”准證措施落實後,中小型工廠、餐館、農業領域皆可申請延長外勞的僱用期。

沙外籍公民實驗室報告完成

另一方面,馬末阿當說,沙巴外籍公民實驗室報告已經完成,並提呈沙巴內閣討論。

他說,去年5月4至27日在沙州舉行開放日的實驗室作出了數項建議。全國級管理外籍公民實驗室之前也提出了本身的建議。

“沙州政府已經同意執行有關建議,而相關報告將提呈給副首相丹斯里慕尤丁3月17日主持的內閣外勞和非法移民委員會會議進一步討論。”
