The Pre-Arrival segment:
Upon approval the online pre-arrival procedures will be activated for hiring of the
FW from the source country. This segment will also have capability for handling
FW who are already in Malaysia. The system will grant authorised access to the
online system at the Malaysian embassy or High Commission Labour Attaché in
the source country. Documentation and findings for pre-arrival health screening,
associated biometrics to establish the identity of the FW and other requirements
will be in digitalized standardised form and uploaded into the single online
system and stored in the centralise database.

The Arrival segment:
Upon PLKS FW arrival the online in-country procedures segment will kick in,
involving in-country medical check, the issue of the PLKS itself upon payment of
the appropriate multi-tier levy and the generation and issuance of a digital and
physical Smart ID card. The aim is to have the PLKS issued in digital form and
linked to the Smart ID, so that there is no need for a paper stamp in the worker’s
passport. The Smart ID must be recognised by all enforcement agencies, who
shall be provided with the apparatus for reading the Smart ID to access all
required enforcement information.

The Monitoring segment and database:
During the stay of the PLKS FW, any changes in documentation information and
findings for arrival health screening and subsequent periodical health screening
will be uploaded into the single online system and stored in the centralise
database.

Biometric information and all the socio economic details of the foreign worker
from the previous online segments will be uploaded automatically to the database
in a standardised format. This will include the expiry date of the PLKS and the
associated date for the next scheduled health screening so that a reminder to
employers may be generated by the on-line system.

The Renewal and Replacement segments:
There will be online renewal of PLKS segment and the online replacement
segment will be closely linked to the application and approval segments. Online
capability will enable all renewal or replacement procedures to be undertaken in a
timely and integrated end-to-end manner.

The Absconding FWs segment:
There will be an online segment for reporting and managing workers that run
away or abscond. All relevant enforcement agencies like the Police will be
provided access or otherwise informed.

The Repatriation segment:
This online segment will facilitate the process to send FWs home who are no
longer needed or whose contract have expired or who choose to go home or who
have become deceased. The check-out memo will be replaced by this on-line
process.
