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?

Business owners want high profit not willing to pay workers. Hotel charge so expensive yet all their waiters use foreigners.

yes agree
any many still want to defend businessman here
u want luxury life but reluctant to spend it on your workers so that yr workers will stay with u and contribute to the company

u tutup and dun do bisnes

why should i as a business owner should sacrifice my happiness in living extravagantly to employ local people and consequently have to fork out more money to pay them?    what, i have my own social responsibility to help the locals?

I rather employ local workers because they know the area well, and they might have connections that can spread my business to other state/area.

rather than employ foreign workers where once permit expired, u have to send them back to their home country and end up u get nothing.

Assuming average 1 Bangla remit rm1,000 back home annually
1.5m : rm1.5 billion flush out every year
The other day radio says got 5m foreigner now
So 5m: rm5b every year hilang

so many greedy business people in /k/, example is TS and some other /k/ here. I don't know what is the good of show off yr wealth when yr worker is suffering in silence due to Malaysian politic and economic crisis. Till now still die die want remain foreign workers, if for construction site/clean up city/state/area, tu ok, no problem, but not for others suchs as F&B  and others. All because want to keep pocket full so that can show off yr wealth to people to satisfy your self-esteem. I have seen some richfag businessman that give workers high salary, maintain the company well and yet still able to enjoy luxury life without a problems. This is because the workers are happy, eventually keep contributing to the company's success, stability and also promote the company good salary and management to their friends. I pray those greedy business people shop quickly declared bankrupt and become beggar and a trash to society. Whatever happens now not only due to Malaysian crisis, but also greedy and idiot business people who reluctant to increase salary to all workers by giving lame reason such as economy crisis..when they can buy new car , travel to Europe etc.  I blame the society too, for pressed too much on wealth rather than wealth and good salary/management of workers.
