Minister of Homeland Security and Technology Ali Ihusan has stated that the government had entered into an agreement with Malaysia's Bestinet Sdn Bhd company to develop the expat system so as to avoid having to pay a large sum as compensation if the existing agreement is to be terminated.
In a press conference yesterday, Ihusan explained that the initial agreement with Bestinet to develop a means of processing expatriate workers entering the Maldives had been entered into in 2015, during the administration of Former President Abdulla Yameen.
