According to Labatt Dizon, POLO-HK has suspended a number of Foreign Recruitment Agencies (FRAs), however, no list of public information is available on these suspensions. http://www.sunwebhk.com/2020/11/ofws-should-not-pay-for-training-and.html I would like to obtain a list of suspended agencies, time periods of suspensions, reasons for suspensions, and other relevant details such as why POLO-HK does not publish this information and therefore OFWs have no ability to tell if an agency is accredited or not.
