Kathmandu, March 15 -- Malaysia has said it will suspend work visas for migrant workers from 1 June since the labour market has reached saturation. Work permits will be issued only till mid-May, and the Malaysian government wants to limit foreign workers to only 15% of the labour force. Nearly 260,000 Nepalis went to Malaysia for work in the past year alone. About 7,000 of them were women.
