The Malaysian government has initiated a ‘recalibration’ of undocumented foreign workers in its country that will benefit Nepalis who have been working there without proper papers.

Called the ‘Illegal Immigrant Recalibration Plan’ it is a part-regularisation-part-amnesty program that will allow undocumented migrants to return to their home countries, whereas the Labour Recalibration Program will allow undocumented workers to be employed in Malaysia in four sectors facing shortages: construction, manufacturing, plantation and agriculture.
 
The plan will go into effect from next week till 30 June 2021. The Malaysian government has often flipflopped on how to manage undocumented workers, mainly from Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Nepal, because of its inability to reconcile the need to reduce its overdependence on foreign workers with its labour shortage.
