A senior government official claims that Malaysia has extended the firm’s deal with the organization that controls the entry of immigrant workers into the nation, though with tighter conditions.
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail stated at a press conference on Monday ( June 24 ) that the Malaysian Cabinet had” several weeks ago” decided the contract extension for Bestinet Sdn Bhd, according to Free Malaysia Today ( FMT ).
While he officially confirmed Bestinet’s improvement, he added the new agreement was subject to stricter problems, according to local advertising.
Additionally, Mr. Saifuddin mentioned that the authorities had established a commission to discuss specifics of Bestinet’s three-year deal extension.
The committee will examine the terms and conditions of firms that introduce safety technology for the migrant workers ‘ centralized management system, including Mohd Zuki Ali, the government’s chief minister.
According to the New Straits Times, Mr. Saifuddin was quoted as saying that” this committee will explain the terms of the contract starting from the decision to expand it in process once it has already been made” in addition to the company’s ongoing discussions.
The Foreign Workers Centralized Management System ( FWCMS ) was developed, provided, and maintained by Bestinet under a six-year contract with Malaysia’s Home Ministry, according to local media reports. However, the lease ended on May 31, 2024.
CNA reported earlier this week that Bestinet will be working with the nation’s growing international workplace on a new three-year contract.
According to the special report, Bestinet is required to give the government its Sharp code and alphanumeric ciphers, as required by its new agreement, for international transfers of funds, among other things.
The Home Ministry, which coordinates the immigrant labor selection process with the Human Resources Ministry, informed Bestinet last week of the new circumstances.
A fresh three-year agreement will only be finalized once the business accepts them, according to government officials.
