HCI issues advisory for job aspirants in Malaysia
Hyderabad, Feb 12 (INN): The High Commission of India, Kuala Lumpur, has issued an Advisory to such Indian Labourers who intend to travel to Malaysia for gainful employment.
'It has been noticed that a large number of skilled and semi-skilled labourers from India come to Malaysia for jobs, without the full knowledge of the details of the job or about the living conditions in Malaysia. Invariably, they are misguided by unscrupulous agents for pecuniary gains. Some of these individuals travel to Malaysia on social visit pass. Please note that if you work under this category of visa, you are liable to be arrested and detained in prison or detention camp. Please ensure that if you are travelling to Malaysia for work, you should have a valid employment pass. Do not be misled by the misrepresentation of facts by agents and become victim of immigration violations and get arrested in Malaysia,' the High Commission said in its advisory.

Recently, several cases have been reported where Indian nationals have been misled and cheated by agents who handed over package/ packets/ equipments to carry to Malaysia on promises of money/tourist visit/employment. They were arrested on arrival with drugs placed in these packages. Possession of drugs is punishable with death penalty in Malaysia, the High Commission of India said.
