Malaysia is one of Asia's biggest employers of foreign labour. But recently, cases of deaths, abuse and forced labour have come to light. What is going on? Who is protecting these migrant workers?
The Prime Minister said he believes the Malaysian
working population will benefit from having greater interaction with foreign talent.
<P>"Indeed,
we can only improve ourselves if we work and learn with talented others,"
he said in his address "Looking Back, Forging Ahead: 50 Years of Business
in Malaysia" at the Kuala Lumpur Business Club dinner, here.</P><P>To get
the skilled workers, he said, Malaysia should facilitate skilled foreign students
to stay on after graduating.</P><P>Abdullah said Malaysia must benefit from the
globalised flow of human capital.</P><P>"I believe that Malaysian professionals
can hold their own amongst the global talent pool and that they remain the employees
of choice by businesses in Malaysia.</P><P>"This does not necessarily conflict
with a policy of drawing more foreign knowledge workers to our shores," he
said.</P><P>– BERNAMA</P><P><I>Source: http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v3/news.php?id=267542</I>
