THE Human Resources Ministry will begin monitoring job advertisements on the Internet.
A committee has been set up by the ministry to ensure that only registered employment agencies can advertise in this medium.
"Only registered agencies are allowed to offer jobs. Advertising is a lucrative business and we want those who advertise to act responsibly," Human Resoruces Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said yesterday.
"There have been cases of unregistered agencies cheating job seekers with misleading advertisements."
He said at the parliament lobby that the Internet was considered a media and all advertisements published on it must comply with the Private Job Agencies Act.
This requires the agencies to include their licence and registration numbers in their advertisements.
Subramaniam said the public could visit the ministry's website to get a list of registered agencies.
He said workers who wanted to claim compensation from Socso should do so at any of its 45 offices nationwide instead of allowing a third party to act on their behalf.
