Legalization Of The Legals

   Oops dear employers and investors in my country, if you have legal foreign workers...then you are in the lucky lot to have to "legalize" your legal workers by registering their biometric readings with the immigration department by this Sunday. The government gives ONLY 2 weeks grace period to register all 1.8 millions legal foreign workers. Make sure you bring all relevant documents and of course your workers to the allocated registration centre if you haven't done so. Good luck to you and enjoy yourselves at the centre. The government will not take any responsibility if your workers ran away or jump boat after this because next month, the government is going to legalized all illegal foreign workers in the country by registering them without any penalization. So your legal foreign workers may take this opportunity to go to other employers by declaring that they are illegals.

   One reminder before you go, please bring enough water to drink and eat something before you go for the registration because it took us 4+ hours on the second day of the exercise. Since work have to continue due to business demand (production must continue), we couldn't register all our workers on the same day. Last Sunday we sent our second batch of workers to register their biometric readings, well we were considered quite lucky to finish everything in 7 + hours !!! We got a lesson on patience and endurance as well as controlling our temper in the humid surroundings. Make sure you visit the toilet earlier or else you might miss your turn after waiting patiently. On a lighter mood, maybe you could break our record of 7+ hours to longer period of waiting and registering...Keep your cool okay, bring your medication along if you are in those group who need it...you know what I mean. HAPPY WAITING !!! Thank God we are over and done with it.....

Prescription : Be patient...take a deep breath...
