KUALA LUMPUR:
The immigration department has dismissed claims the government will implement the Workforce Recalibration Programme 3.0 (RTK 3.0) soon.

Its director-general, Zakaria Shaaban, said no decision has been made regarding the implementation of RTK 3.0.

“The department advises the public not to be misled by any party seeking to take advantage by using the name of the RTK programme,” he said in a statement today.

Zakaria urged the public to visit the department’s official portal and social media accounts for up-to-date information related to the department.

The RTK 2.0 programme, introduced on Jan 27, 2023, ended on June 30, 2024.

The programme is a special initiative aimed at legalising foreign workers in the country, allowing them to be employed legally by qualified employers under strict conditions imposed by the government.
