我們馬上要度過一個艱難的2021，因為疫情的原因，大家都過的相當艱辛，包括正在馬來西亞打拼的外國勞工者，目前來說的一個消息是移民局PLKS簽證逾期馬上就要有延遲政策了，這個對人在馬來西亞的逾期逗留者可能有用。

The application for the extension of temporary work permit for foreign workers (PLKS) under the rehiring programme will be opened on Monday (Dec 20), says the Immigration Department.按照馬來西亞移民局的口徑，臨時工簽PLKS在再雇傭計劃里面的政策將會被在下周一重新放開申請。

Its director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the programme started in 2016 with the aim of giving opportunities for undocumented immigrants working in Malaysia, for a maximum of five years, to cater to manpower needs in permitted sectors.這個2016年開始啟動的計劃旨在給與在大馬務工外勞一個再續簽的計劃，這個最長的期限最多不超過五年。

"As of Nov 30, the department recorded 185,577 active PLKS under the programme.目前大概18萬人有望轉正。

"PLKS, which is valid for five years, will end in phases starting this year until 2024," he said in a statement on Wednesday (Dec 15).一旦搞定，滿足條件的外勞可以續簽五年。

To avoid shortage of manpower especially in 3D (dirty, difficult, dangerous) sectors, Khairul Dzaimee said the government has agreed on Nov 19 that the PLKS period under the programme is extended yearly for a maximum of five years, depending on needs.重開這個計劃的目的當然是為了解決目前三高行業的勞工緊缺問題。

Six main items that need the attention of employers, who hired workers under the programme are both employers and workers do not violate requirement for the passes; workers that have been blacklisted cannot apply for extension; workers cannot change employers or sectors except through a special approval of the Home Ministry; only employers and valid representatives of employers can apply for the extension; PLKS extension will only be allowed online through ePLKS or MyEG, and consideration for PLKS extension depends on enforcement of foreign worker employment procedures.這里需要注意的是，被移民局黑名單過的人不能申請延期，工人不能自己換行業，這個流程需要雇主來操作，目前來說PLKS的延長申請需要通過在線申請，從ePLKS或者MyEG平臺來做這個事。

Khairul Dzaimee urged all employers to take the opportunity to renew the PLKS of their workers.

"Employers can get further details on employment duration for PLKS workers under the programme at the department's website at www.imi.gov.my.更新政策相關的信息各位去看移民局官網吧，好了涉及到移民局疑難雜癥、馬來西亞大學文憑獲取及燕窩貿易的都可以找小曹咨詢一下，thanks。
