KUALA LUMPUR: From May 2, employers renewing foreign worker permits need not pay RM35 for MyEG services, said Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).  

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said the Cabinet decided this two days ago. 

According to him, the Government would bear the cost by paying MyEG their service fee from the RM125 levy collected from employers. 

"Now, employers will not have to pay additional charges (to get their worker permits approved)," Dr Wee told reporters at the Putra World Trade Centre on Thursday. 

Dr Wee also said that over-the-counter renewals at Immigration departments would be continued. 

"This will solve the whole issue faced by the industry," he added.
