KUALA LUMPUR: A total 1,548,798 illegal immigrants and legal foreign workers have been registered under the Illegal Immigrant Comprehensive Settlement Programme or 6P Programme up to Monday.

Home Ministry senior deputy secretary-general (Registration and Immigration) Datuk Alwi Ibrahim said of the total, 834,233 were those registered through the Registration of Legal Foreign Workers Programme.

In Sabah, a total 157,966 illegal immigrants were registered since July 18, he said in a statement here Tuesday.

Alwi also said a one-stop counter was set up at the ministry's headquarters in Putrajaya Monday to tackle technical problems faced by 336 management companies handling the registration.

The counters were manned by the ministry's personnel and representatives of supply companies responsible for the management of the content management system used in the 6P programme. - Bernama
