MTUC president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor.

PETALING JAYA: The Government should not sideline the law and the legal hiring process by enabling 10,000 Yemeni citizens holding social visit passes to work in the country, says the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).

Its president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said using humanitarian grounds to justify allowing Yemenis to work here without going through the normal hiring process was wrong and said that the MTUC would not support the Government on this.
