TANX FOR CONTRIBUTION MY FRIENDS!!!!!

That’s one thing attract me to say something here. It’s related to what point that Mr. Johan said before in him post. He said that the lowest wage of foreign worker is the reason why employer or Malaysian people hire foreign worker in their company.
Actually, I didn’t want to protest or cut Mr. Johan ideas. However, I have my own opinion of somewhat presence reason foreign worker like Mr. Johan said before. I highly agreeable when Mr. Johan says that foreign worker offer critically low salary once and this necessarily give advantage to employers are mainly in increasingly desperate economic state now. We can see about quarter Malaysian people can employ the foreign worker. The salary that they offer incredibly cheap if we compared with salary requested by local people.
But we must remember now, they (foreign worker) no more as cheap as expected. Perhaps three four years predecessor we can say foreign worker's salary cheap. But no more nowadays. Just look how sparked recent uproar revolves of floor increase and decision new salary for shelf maid servant from Indonesia. Responsible party manage that foreign worker is moved aggressive by pressing Malaysian and proved government they became big-headed when see we as if too relenting to them.
If we further idle and relent, be salary possibility maid servant or servant already ranks with a senior government officer salary in this country of us. Let think and ponders some what I pronounce here. Another example I am able to give here about salary.
I wish to share my own little experience with readers. I have land broadly about a hectare that plant with oil palm. Every two week I will be cited and raking the farm. However, if I no opportunity I would hire Indonesia employee to pick product. Formerly I only will pay RM60 vicinity an acre for employee wages. However, recently I very surprised when that employee arrogantly it’s ask payment as much as RM120, increase hundred percent compared original payments. This situation may be could give some indication to readers of foreign worker extreme attitude nowadays. And did this gentlemen say that this foreign worker salary incredibly cheap? Keep thinking my beloved friends…

HAI EVERYONE

hi everyone... thank you for Johan because the point you given to us. i think it was a good point actualy for us to elaborate about the cause of the foreign workers and effect to Malaysia.
When we talk about the foreign workers in Malaysia as we know those people from India, Indonesia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and little bit from Africa.We must know why those people choose Malaysia as a working place and come to migrate here. Like a Johan said Malaysia such as a stable country to compare with those country in economy and politic. So this its a good oppurtunity for them to make some money because in their country they are so poor and those cannot make some money and because of this reason those have to migrate to other country like a Malaysia to make extra money to their family and themself for a better life.
my opinion is they come here to make it some extra money and have a better life from last time.

WHO IS THE FOREIGN WORKERS

A foreign worker is a person who works in a country other than the one of which he or she is a citizen. The term migrant worker as discussed in the migrant worker page is used in a particular UN resolution as a synonym for "foreign worker". In nations that have yet to ratify this resolution such as the United States the term migrant worker is not synonymous with foreign worker.

Sometimes, a host country sets up a program in order to invite guest workers, as did the Federal Republic of Germany from 1955 until 1973, when over one million guest workers (German: Gastarbeiter) arrived, mostly from Italy, Spain and Turkey.

Current estimates on the total number of international foreign workers stand at about 25 million[citation needed], with a comparable number of dependents accompanying them. An estimated 14 million foreign workers live in the United States, which draws most of its immigrants from Mexico, including 4 or 5 million undocumented workers. It is estimated that around 5 million foreign workers live in Northwestern Europe, half a million in Japan, and around 5 million in Saudi Arabia.

The term can refer to professional experts, blue collar workers, language teachers, as well as entertainers.





Controversy

Although there have been disagreements over immigration in the broader sense (the current system facilitated with green cards). Most controversy in the United States since 1990 has been in regard to "guest workers" both legal and illegal.

In recent years in the United States, there has been much controversy over whether H-1B visas (a particular instance of guest worker), intended to bring highly skilled workers to fill gaps in the domestic labor pool, are instead being used to bring in skilled, but otherwise unexceptional, economic migrants as cheap labor to fill jobs that could readily be filled domestically. There is much controversy over pending legislation that would allow unskilled labor to enter the country for this same reason.

Foreign Students coming into the USA are also migrant workers. They may face large salary differences till the obtention of their green card as their Visa is only company specific. Moreover, they are barred from many high profile jobs where Citizenship is a prerequisite.

Again, specific to the H-1B visas, Third World countries such as India, Pakistan, and the Philippines have long experienced a brain drain of highly skilled workers to countries like the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Australia. While the absolute number of such émigrés are not large, the economic implications of such very skilled workers are significant.

Sometimes, citizens of countries with heavily urbanized areas have migrated to more agrarian countries in order to find jobs as farmers and such. For more discussion on this see Migrant workers.

In certain less tolerant nations [value judgment], foreign workers may be abused and treated as second-class citizens by the governments and/or lack of unions to assert worker rights, although a counterargument could be made in that foreigners do not deserve to be treated as full citizens as long we accord them basic human rights and civil liberties. For instance, in many Asian nations, it is not uncommon for employers to withhold passports from their employees, thus preventing the foreign worker from returning home. [no citation provided] In conjunction with the withholding of salaries, it is meant to put the foreign workers in very difficult situation (particularly because the laws of these countries are typically not sympathetic to foreigners in practice). In the UK organisations such as Kalayaan protect the rights of UK migrant domestic workers.
