JTKSM Licence C
No. 1724

What It Means
APMS is legally authorised to recruit and place foreign nationals into employment in Malaysia across all approved industry sectors under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981.
Why It Matters
Employers who engage unlicensed agencies face direct legal liability. Licence C is your assurance that APMS is a fully regulated, lawful, and auditable recruitment partner.
