The introduction of the MyEG system had caused confusion at Immigration Department branches nationwide after employers and their agents were directed to use MyEG’s new online system in place of the discontinued permit counters.
Putrajaya has temporarily reopened Immigration Department counters issuing migrant worker permits following a backlash when the registration was outsourced to MyEG Services.
CPI reported earlier this week that PKR wanted MyEG probed for anticompetitive activities.
