S'pore firms to reemploy 75 pct of M'sians 'temporarily suspended'

The majority of Malaysians who have been "temporarily suspended" from their jobs in Singapore following the Covid-19 pandemic can rest easy as their employers have stated their willingness to rehire them.

State Investment, Entrepreneur Development, Cooperative and Human Resource Committee chairperson Mohd Izhar Ahmad said this was following talks held by the Johor and Singapore governments as well as several employers, the majority of whom owned major industries in the island republic.
