THE Human Resources Ministry today warned against any third-party intervention to resolve problems in connection with foreign worker applications.

The ministry, in a statement today, said external involvement will only complicate the application process and expose it to abuse, such as corruption or leakage of relevant information that could cause delays.

“The Human Resources Ministry is aware of and understands the problems faced on the ground and is capable of managing the issues facing employers, as well as implementing the best initiatives to solve problems.

“Employers are advised to liaise with the ministry for any problems encountered in applying for foreign workers,” it said.

The ministry said it is always open to any input provided by any party to improve and simplify the foreign worker application process.
