Australia-based fashion retailer Cotton On apologised for posting a job recruitment advertisement, which specifically stated that only Malaysians or its permanent residents couple apply to work at the company.
Speaking to TODAY, a spokesperson for the company stated that it was human error on its part and that a wrong copy of the recruitment template was used, adding that the websites were updated within 45 minutes.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) was contacted and investigations are ongoing.
Earlier this year, 10 firms were banned from hiring new foreign workers for half a year and ordered to make public apologies for 30 days after investigations showed that they were guilty of posting discriminatory job advertisements.
