January 23, 1998: EMPLOYMENT

              Controls on aliens
              to be tightened

              Proposal to set up committee approved

              The Government has approved a proposal to set up a
              committee and four other sub-committees to control the
              employment of registered foreign workers and to crack down on
              illegal foreign workers.

              The proposal from the Labour and Social Welfare Ministry is
              aimed at tackling the illegal employment problem more
              effectively, said a ministry source, adding that each panel would
              be chaired by related agencies. 

              The ministry has proposed the setting up of a committee to
              regulate mechanisms to control alien workers and to liaise with
              four sub-committees to look into problems relating to illegal
              workers.

              The four others are:

               A sub-committee to follow up and evaluate measures to solve
              the problem of illegal employment. The panel will be chaired by
              the National Security Council;

               A sub-committee to control the influx of illegal immigrant
              workers. The panel is to be overseen by the Interior Ministry;

               A sub-committee to study the problem of illegal employment. It
              will be chaired by the Labour and Social Welfare Ministry;

               A sub-committee to prevent and control the spread of
              communicable diseases among alien workers. It will be chaired
              by the Public Health Ministry.
