Malaysians are destroying the country with the Foreign Workers issue.

1st they want everything cheap, cheap food, cheap services, cheap houses, but to make these cheaper businessman have to reduce cost, and labor cost plays a big portion in the month expenses.

Then Malaysians themselves want High Salary, then don't want work in low class jobs, so who work in the kitchen? You think food cook themselves and fly to your tables on your own? Then when people hire local, say their price too expensive not worth it boycott go Mamak eat cheaper.

With less & less locals willing to work lower tier jobs, the demand for low tier workers increase, and since locals not willing to take the jobs, how? have to bring in from other countries, JUST LIKE SINGAPORE.

you think another 1.5million bangglas is alot? it's alot when you put them in a taman, but you count just F&B how many outlets are there just in KL? Assuming 1 outlet need 10 workers, you think 1mil is sufficient for whole Malaysia? Don't forget construction sites needs even more workers. Last time Indonesians work in the industry but now their rates has gone up contractors have no choice, Banggla workers offers the best rates now, Myanmar, Viet & Pinoys are considered expensive and they rather work in Singapore or Hong Kong.

just because people turn the issue into political issue, everyone starts shouting about Foreigner Workers issues.

now everywhere also spot check foreign workers, soon the availability for foreign workers will drop, as demand increases, business have no choice but to pay higher salary to them, and in turn, consumers have to bear the added cost, so what you will see in near future is even further price hikes on everything involving low tier worker inputs. and by canceling the addition 1.5mil work force, and existing foreign workers permit expires, demand for low tier workers will soar. And since Malaysians dislike Bangglas so much, government have to go for alternatives like PRC/Viet/Pinoy/Indons which are much more expensive, and doesn't mean they won't bring in less problems.

if you don't want foreigners to invade your country, you have to take up the local jobs la, or you expect Malaysia to hire foreigners to fill up the armed forces and defend our country should war happens?

want cheap, but don't want work, want higher salary, you do know you are contradicting yourselves?

that maybe true, but then other countries even without the competition tend to branch out. take for example honda, honda doesnt need to compete its domestic market is huge, it can sit on its jolly asses forever with protection from the japanese government. yet it thrived to build better, creating better ways and means to do things then them japs went to germany to teach the germans how to build cars.

the same can be said of hyundai, samsung, and many other companies who tend to be cronies to the government

but msia? croni also fail (cimb international expansion failure 14-now), not croni also fail
