The issue of undocumented foreigners/refugees/migrant workers has obviously polarised Malaysians.For decades now, the steady influx of foreigners under various official schemes and as the recent arrests of enforcement personnel in Johor show, via corruption-enabled migration, have reached a state which is impossible to ignore.
They are everywhere. Just everywhere. In almost every sector of the economy. And since they are mostly gainfully employed or are able to make a living serving Malaysians - they have every incentive to get in and stay.
But are they to be blamed? The government, since Dr Mahathir Mohamad's early days in office as prime minister, actively encouraged this influx through a series of short-sighted labour import policies.
That had resulted in the emergence of a flourishing migrant-licensing industry with agents, runners and later traffickers and enablers in the enforcement agencies.
And so, we have Indonesians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Myanmars, Indians and Rohingyas who have successfully filled nearly all available jobs involving manual labour as well as the services and even retail sectors.
Successive labour ministers, as well as employer federations, colluded to keep the supply chain going. After some time, it became impossible to separate the legal from the undocumented migrants and the documented workers from UNHCR card-carrying refugees.
As things stand now, no one has any idea exactly how many there are in the various categories. They are just everywhere, including sprawling ghettos in urban and suburban areas and in places like those decrepit Selangor and Malaysia "mansions", apart from the semi-permanent filthy kongsis that are now a staple of the construction industry
And despite the known futility of shutting the proverbial stable doors after the horses have bolted, there is now a new attempt to stem the tide fuelled by a new political will which in turn is powered by stark health and economic realities.
And in the new rush to please their political masters, enforcement agencies which previously ignored the growing numbers are now finally doing what they should have been doing all these years.
Why enforcement agencies did not do their duty previously is a question for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) - not that RCIs have ever achieved or answered anything.
But those migrant/refugee NGOs which emerged over the years in response to the influx now need to consider the unintended consequences of their humanitarian acts - which served to attract and support migrants/undocumented workers.
In the end, all that is required is common sense tempered with a dose of humanity as the new policy takes form and substance.
But then again, will all those who gained by the influx - greedy employers, crooked politicians, agents, uniformed enablers and traffickers move on to do something else?

勾结外国势力,搅乱社会安定还要狡辩,还要呼吁国际社会和他们站在一起。天底下哪里有一个国家能够容忍他们的行为。

Retirees who depend on interest income from their bank saving would likely to see their interest come drop by at least 50% (say from 3% to 1.5%) as a general guide.

Democracy, if practiced truthfully, is always a game of party hopping and changing governments. Look at Australia, France, Japan, Britain, USA, India, etc. Two almost equal factions will emerge. But is this the best form of government?
Ban party hopping. An MP automatically resigns when he hops from his party. It is a form of corruption..... Being offered money or position. Let's not be naive about that.
A Unity government may be the answer. Best talents for the government. Hopefully,meritocracy too. But how to provide check and balance? The NGOs and each political party to check itself. Hopefully. Educate the Rakyat. Have better interactions with them. Stop abuses of power and corruption.
Let's make Malaysia great again.

Seem to be a minority voice as this is a culture deeply embedded in the DNA of UMNO. You think it can be changed? Also, do note that the PM is not even from UMNO, yet UMNO is showing this kind of behavior already. What hope do we have?

In these days of party hopping for wealth and positions by politicians who at a drop of hat betray the rakyat at all levels, Anwar Ibrahim is to be commended for his commitment to the principles of the party he founded. He deserves to be the PM.

Yes, sometimes we can't have the cake and eat it as well. While Anwar is the most deserving, he himself concedes that Mahathir has the numbers needed to help retake the government.
And what is Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal's take on this matter? And what about GPS? If Harapan Plus is serious about retaking Putrajaya, the pros and cons do not favour Anwar, however much we want him.
While Anwar has the support of Pakatan MPs, it is Mahathir who can influence the fence-sitters, without which this notion of retaking the government is an exercise in futility.
