Even "worser" related news, 4 December 2014:

This is news? I graduated Law 5 years ago and still don't have a job. I even went back to get a Masters with a Distinction average to single myself out and it made absolutely no difference and to top it all off I went back to Uni because I was a foreign language teacher - a field where there is no need for teachers. Crystal is lucky to have a partner to help her through. I have been turned down for admin, legal, retail and education jobs. When she's 40, has spent 5 years on the dole, has a $96 000 HECS debt and has slept in her car for three weeks then she'll know how bad unemployment really can be.

Some of the fun reasons employers prefer "nepalese, bangladeshi",
is
they are willing to work long hours for peanut pay biggrin.gif
plus
live in company accommodation, so the money they spend flows into the boss's pockets icon_idea.gif
and
can be fired and quickly deported when their usefulness is over. brows.gif

When Malaysians are willing to work very long hours, live in the workplace, and don't cause any trouble (like ask to be treated as human beings or take care of their health or practice safety with heavy/dangerous equipment),
then every boss will want them. rclxms.gif rclxm9.gif icon_rolleyes.gif thumbup.gif

dailou, u want to work overseas. care what bitter or sweet? what we want is just money?
if u have money alot, why ask job opportunity overseas? scare bitter dont go oversea for job.
that is how nepalese,banglade ppl more hard working and been a favourite among our bosses in Malaysia.
i rather go for foreigner worker than local.
We malaysian must chilled up. or not we will lose also just a little chance also in future. all opportunity just give it to the foreigner.
please Malaysian

LOL, company has to APPROVE annual leave.
Otherwise, you are considered terminated if you take leave more than 2 days, even if you hand in your leave application over 1 month no reply liau, but you take your leave because it is family issue.
Then asked HR why boss no reply?
"Boss very busy with work, how to reply your leave application?"
(Isn't replying to leave applications, PART OF THE WORK OF THE BOSS?)
Just lol, bosses will hire for (unqualified?) cheap and illegal if possible,
then claim all the qualified legal workers are deficient and demanding.
and of course, boss is the one doing most of the annual leave ... smile.gif

There are already many employers hiring Nepalese educated admin staff paying them  rm1300 with 3 year bond no EPF or sosco. Mind you this guys speak excellent English and are computer literate.
Where do locals have a chance ?

Soon 5\10 years ...you will see a large shift in local workforce dynamics. As employers cut cost and higher foreinegners to maintain overheads .

Forgot to add foreigners don't take mc or annual leave like us smile.gif
