KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — The Local Government Development Ministry (KPKT) has formulated accommodation guidelines to ensure workers’ welfare is safeguarded per the law.
In a statement today, it said it has come up with the application procedure guidelines for the provision of Temporary Labour Quarters (TLQ) for 2024 to 2026 and planning guidelines for the implementation of long-term Centralised Labour Quarters (CLQ).
The guidelines aim to assist local council authorities, government agencies, developers, employers, factory owners, and accommodation operators in providing workers with accommodation.
They cover both local and foreign workers based on the Workers’ Minimum Standards of Housing, Accommodation, and Amenities Act 1990 (Act 446) as well as other related Acts.
