Stop employing foreign workers and hire locals!

It is a quick remedy.

If any employers or companies insist on foreign workers, let them shutdown and setup their business in foreign workers country.

Definition of forced Labour from ILO

The forced labour definition encompasses:
“traditional practices of forced labour, such as vestiges of slavery or slave-like practices, and various forms of debt bondage, as well as new forms of forced labour that have emerged in recent decades, such as human trafficking.”1 also called “modern-slavery” to shed light on working and living conditions contrary to human dignity.

Primary role of government is to care for it's OWN CITIZENS not foreign workers. The government must ensure locals are not unemployed and receive better remuneration and all benefits taken care.

If the government acts as a foreign workers agency then definitely these emboldens crooks to masquerade as agents. There will be no control on influx of foreign workers and certainly locals unemployment will sky rocket. This will attribute to social problems like increased crime, corruption, suppressed salary hence contribute to inflation.

Employers are blood suckers. Luckily I am not the HOME MINISTER, otherwise the business of foreign workers will be burnt to ashes.
Any employers insisting on foreign workers will be told to SHUTDOWN and shift their business elsewhere.

It does not matter if the industries DIE. BETTER the EMPLOYERS DIE instead of the RAKYAT. FOREIGN WORKERS ARE FOREIGNERS and have no business in enjoying CITIZENS RIGHTS.

FOR too long these employers are enjoying vulgar profit.

GLCs are main reason of foreign workers influx.

@Annetan

Foreign workers have no choice once they are in a foreign land.
They cannot return due to passports confiscated by employers or agents and also financially indebted back home.

Forced labour is forcing them to work 12 hours shift and mandating them to continue working to cover for insufficient workforce. Deducting their salary for small matters is akin to robbing. Stuffing 20 to 30 people in a house and calling it a hostel is an insult to humanity.

If you want me to list the atrocities, the list would be an encylopedia.

Forced labour encompasses all the above mentioned.

Why not employ Malaysians and follow the law?

You want to give the age old bull sheet that Malaysians are lazy and refuse to work? Why the salary is stagnant?

If I am the Prime Minister I will BAN foreign workers and SHUTDOWN companies depending on them.

Malaysia addiction to foreign has been mentioned again and again for many years already and yet we continue to have more and more foreign laborers despite the fact that many Malaysians are jobless.
Many employees prefer to employ foreign workers as these workers can be easier to control apart from being "cheap". In addition there exist an industry to supply labour to countries like Malaysia. There are many recruiting agents in both in Malaysia and in the foreign labour countries that greatly benefit from import and export of labour. Even the medical sector that provide health screenings and testings equally benefit from this industry. And of course some politicians and even civil servants had some thing to gains in the biz of foreign labour.
A lot of people apart from employers themselves got some thing to gain from this biz of foreign labour. No wonder Malaysia continue to prefer foreign labour. Yet many of our own people are working in foreign countries like Singapore, Australia etc.

Availability of cheap labour will not encourage the industries to be more efficient and investing more in technology. Salary for labour has not kept up with the cost of living and the gap between the workers at the bottom are huge and the gap continue to increase.

On the other hand, these workers are not grateful that they get employment in Malaysia and no body were forcing them to come here to work here. Most of the exploitations were actually done by their own fellow country men during recruitment that involve among other thing lending money at usurious rates to these workers.
In their own countries these so called forced labour can't get jobs and the working conditions are far worst than here.
I must state that I am against any forms exploitation, and labour must be treated with respect and fairly paid. What is surprising however, many well known international clothing brands for example, are using very cheap labour working in horrible and unsafe factories in for example Bangladesh and elsewhere too, but we don't often hear from these importer countries banning these imports?

Of course, part of the blame lies in the imposition of high fees by authorities for foreign workers to enter and remain in the country.

This has been highlighted before and it is hoped that this unfair system will be dismantled and replaced with a fairer system.

The fact remains that Malaysian businesses have relied on foreign workers to compete for far too long.

Instead, they should be either looking to automate or live with the fact that any ill- treatment of workers will eventually get them red- flagged.
