KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 — An influential parliamentary committee said today that it will haul in the Home ministry to explain its faulty databases which make it impossible to track the number of foreign workers in the country.
Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said there are an estimated two million foreign workers in the country, but noted that the Home Ministry’s database did not record the migrant workforce properly, as highlighted by the Auditor-General’s 2013 Report (Series 2) released today.
