KOTA KINABALU, June 2 — A pilot project for the digital data collection of foreigners in Sabah has found that at least half of the workers employed were “not legitimate,” Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan said.
“Both the employers and the workers were cooperative, and we took their data and biometrics. About half of them were legal, while others, and their dependents, were not,” he said. Authorities such as the immigration and police were not involved in the process in order to facilitate voluntary participation.
The wider project covers different segments of the economy like plantation, construction, and services, and will also go to squatter areas and islands.
