Foreign Worker Recruitment Now Allowed in Malaysia’s Land-Warehousing Sub-Sector
Malaysia has expanded foreign worker eligibility to include the land-warehousing sub-sector, a category covering core warehouse operations such as goods handling, packing, stock organisation and on-ground logistics support.
This update aims to ease manpower shortages that have affected warehouse and distribution centres in recent years, especially as e-commerce and supply-chain activities continue to grow.
For companies in logistics and warehousing, the change provides an additional staffing option to strengthen daily operations, reduce workflow disruption and support faster turnaround times.
While this is not a complete solution to all manpower challenges, it offers businesses more flexibility when planning for operational demand and peak seasons.
Helpmate Solutions monitors industry shifts and labour-related policy developments to keep stakeholders informed of changes that may affect manpower planning and sector demands.
