The Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday urged undocumented Filipino workers in Malaysia to take advantage of the Malaysian government’s ongoing rehiring program.

“Qualified Filipino employees in Malaysia who have irregular status are highly encouraged to work with their employers to register under the Malaysian Government’s Rehiring Program from Feb. 15 to June 30,” Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia J. Eduardo Malaya said in a statement.

The program aims to provide undocumented foreign workers in Malaysia with valid work permits, and to fill labor  vacancies in some sectors.

Workers who may avail of the Rehiring Program are those who have overstayed with visit pass temporary employment and are working with the same employer; those who have overstayed with employment visas but with a different employer, and those who entered the country under social visit passes (tourist visas) and working with an employer for six months before the start of the program.
