Human Resources Minister M Kula Segaran says several thousand workers with contagious diseases have gone into hiding in the country.

He said several thousand workers had gone into hiding once they found out they had failed their medical examination and were now working illegally elsewhere.Kula said the plan was to have the government itself screen the workers when they arrive at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. “Within 30 days, the medical report on the worker must be done,” he said, adding that some would wait till the last minute to send in their blood samples for testing and run away when found with any diseases.

Kula said at present only some private employers, notably the bigger companies, are providing such leave and this was included in their collective agreements or employment contracts.
