Bestinet: Does It Disadvantage The Government?

The Public Accounts Committee's recent report has revealed that the government may have to pay Bestinet Sdn Bhd RM3.22 billion ringgit for the Foreign Worker Centralised Management System. This is likely due to the fact that the government has been operating the foreign worker recruitment platform without a finalised contract for six years. Alex Ong, Country Representative, Migrant CARE, shares his insights.
