KL needs more Indonesian workers

BANDUNG: The Malaysian state of Selangor needs about one million more workers from Indonesia for its construction and domestic service sectors due to a housing boom there.

Selangor Governor Mohamad Khir Bin Toyo said on the sidelines of the Tourism Selangor Road Show here that the current one million Indonesian workers in the state were not sufficient, and an additional one million were required.

"We need healthy and strong workers from Indonesia. But they have to be legal workers so that no problems will emerge later," Mohamad said. --JP
