00:08 The large number of foreign workers arriving at KLIA today

00:12 is due to employers rushing to bring them into the country before the June 1st deadline.

00:17 This is the explanation the Immigration Department provided

00:20 after a viral video showed large groups of migrant workers

00:23 sitting on the floor at KLIA Terminal 1.

00:26 The Home Ministry previously said unused quotas for foreign workers

00:29 would be cancelled on June 1st to free up hiring quotas that have been frozen since last year.

00:34 The Immigration Department said it expects the number of arrivals to continue increasing until tomorrow.

00:39 It also said it is working with Malaysia Airport's Holdings Berhad

00:43 to manage congestion and ensure the comfort of KLIA's passengers.

00:47 The Department said it would increase the number of immigration officers at the two KLIA terminals

00:52 as well as open more counters to expedite the screening and verification of the foreign workers.
