IMPLEMENTATION OF FWCMS EQUOTA MODULE FOR FOREIGN WORKER QUOTA APPLICATIONS

Please be informed that with immediate effect, the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) has designated the Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS) eQuota module as the exclusive platform for foreign worker (FW) quota applications. In line with this, KESUMA has abolished the case by case approval. The FWCMS eQuota module is now open across all sectors, including the construction sector for companies classified as G4 and above (with more than 100 workers). All applications must be submitted digitally through the FWCMS eQuota platform, and no closing date has been announced at this time.

Employers are required to first submit applications under the Foreign Worker Employment (FWe) module. Upon approval, they may subsequently proceed to apply for quota through the FWCMS eQuota platform.

Employers are advised to periodically check the official FWCMS website (https://fwcms.com.my/) for the latest updates. A webinar is expected to be conducted next week. Details of the webinar will be displayed via e‑banner on the official FWCMS website itself. Employers are therefore encouraged to monitor the website closely for confirmation once the webinar schedule is released.

This transition aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and uniformity in the management of foreign worker recruitment. Members are advised to familiarize themselves with the new system to ensure smooth compliance and prevent administrative setbacks.

For any enquiries, kindly contact the FWCMS Customer Care Hotline at 03‑86892822, via live chat, or by email at enquiries@fwcms.com.my.

Kindly remain attentive to official updates and webinar announcements via the FWCMS website.
