KUALA LUMPUR - More than a dozen Chinese workers at a"Belt and Road" train project in Malaysia who had gone home to Wuhan for the Chinese New Year have been told not to return until further notice, the head of the project owner said on Friday .
On Thursday, Malaysia's Human Resources Ministry said in a statement that workers from China working at the US$11 billion East Coast Rail Link "have been granted a leave of absence until the outbreak in China has been brought under control". CCC-ECRL, the local unit of the contractor, said its emergency management plan includes any staff who have travelled to China and returned.
It was not immediately clear how many Chinese nationals worked at the project and how many of them had gone back home for the festivities last weekend. Up to 70 per cent of the project's workers are supposed to be local.
