of late, there were lots of comments about the local workers and foreign workers. The writers were from the construction side and the restaurant sector. These two sectors would be hardest hit when the government imposed higher levy on the forerign workers, as a result the profit margin will be lower but not the deligent issues.
The restaurant owner sent the letter to the Star and Malaysiakini.com to show how much the issue should be highlighted. Of course, the writer never read malaysiakini well as he/she is too busy with the figures in the profit coloumn.
We all the time call the government to introduce the minumum wage but till now, we still did not see a sign of it. The influx of the foreign workers brought in lots of social issues and furthermore encourage more corruptions. It is not only in the immigration department, the bus drivers as well.
here like to urge those who have testified the working atttitudes of the local to provide the figures of the salary, wage of the workers in your restuarants.
As a contract worker before out of my motherland, i knew how it suffered when the contract is signed. Paying back the penalty is hard for the weaker, like me. The Rm2000 imposed by the job agency in Malaysia is a big sum for the worker. Thus they hang on, they have no choice, but the locals, would go for better.
How these people have cashed in instantly is the EPF from the foreign workers, The workers in Singapore are paid CPF but the local employers did not pay for them.
As a Malaysian, we need a lot of welfare. If the minum wage policy is not introduced and implement. The exploitation will be in even for the local to local. The very good example is the maid. The local mails are mostly do not paid the EPF.
The cost is lower to operate isn't it ?

The problems facing migrant workers have been brought to the forefront again following the gruesome death of two Bangladeshi workers at a construction site in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur on 8th March 2009.
The two Bangladeshi workers were crushed to death by a ton of concrete bricks that fell from the 22nd floor of the almost-completed UOA Bangsar Tower after a crane cable snapped. The site is just a stone's throw from Malaysiakini office in Bangsar Utama.
Incidents like this one are not uncommon in the country,as Malaysiakini finds out after contacting various migrants' rights activists and organisations.
