In today's ST.... now there are conflicting reports on whether
or not there is a ban.
Just click on the same BBC link.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7176323.stm
But Works Minister S Samy Vellu cast doubt on that assertion,
saying his government had made no such order.
If the prohibition is put in place it will affect about 140,000
Indians currently working legally in Malaysia.
Speaking at a conference in the Indian city of Delhi, Mr Vellu, the
only ethnic Indian member of the cabinet, initially said Malaysia
had enough workers and did not want any more.
But he later appeared to take a different stance and denied the
reports.
"There is no such thing as banning workers from India and
Bangladesh," he told the BBC.
"I have talked to the minister of human resources. We have never
made such a decision."
Sigh..... I suppose Vellu is now gonna claim that his earlier
comments were taken out of context?
