The government is considering providing additional social assistance to refugees registered with both the government and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), including granting them legal employment rights in Malaysia.

However, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), Dr Zaliha Mustafa, said the specifics of this proposal are still being refined, taking into account labour requirements and conditions across various sectors, according to a report in Malay daily Berita Harian today.

She stated that this approval would only be finalised once all refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia are officially registered with the government.

“Currently, the government is implementing National Security Council Directive No. 23: Policy and Mechanism for Managing Refugees and Asylum Seekers (2023 revision), which was signed by the prime minister on June 14, 2023.

“This directive serves as the government’s framework for supervising and managing refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia, outlining the roles and responsibilities of each involved government agency,” she said.

She made these remarks in a written response to a question from Teresa Kok Suh Sim (PH-Seputeh) in the Dewan Rakyat, who asked whether UNHCR-recognised refugees could be granted legal employment as a measure to address the country’s labour shortage.

Expanding on the matter, Zaliha noted that Malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention or the 1967 Refugee Protocol.

Bagi IC juga kan lebih baik

bagilah starter pack sekali, kereta, kerakyatan, rumah, pekerjaan sekali

Topup la sikit, kasi waifu sekali ma.

Straight give bumi status lah.

👀😂

Directly appoint them as our PM lah. Change our country’s name too

Macam kat Sabah tu kew?

Penggangur ramai, some terpaksa jadi grab riders, and government kisah more to these people

bayar tax jer, same tax bracket as foreigners/expats

just want them to contribute to EPF only

always coming up with stupid ass idea fueled by sentiment that end up backfiring, deswhy we stuck in endless cycle of failure

inb4 just do it

Make Klang their settlement camp ler…

i wanted 2 write sumething relevant here but d podcast im listening is so damn hilarious..l cant register what im reading @ /k…🤣🤣🤣 bye!

What you talking about, Madani lowest unemployment rate in 10 years.

*pat self on back*

After his term nanti keluar la new touristking and post 'zaman PH jaga dulu, sekian sekian'.

we sure LOVE all these people until they're given this and that that even local citizen don't even get in their whole life

all our resources went to them...for free

All will lead to this included falestinians and banglas.

Malaysians are having difficulties finding jobs and yet this is proposed.

what you expect them to work as ?

Trus bagi Ic dan Bumi status la bongok.

Sure or not penggangur? Ramai grads want 3D work or even budak kampung/rempit? If you dun study hard, sleep in school and fail all exams, want keja ofis? Even skeptical wif those so called grads with degrees and masters, ask to do something simple also need hand holding. Then kena marah a bit, throw letter. Those group who really want to work, learn other skills like mandarin, certifications in other subjects very hard to find. Main politics, curi tulang, max mc, large percentage. They do grab rider cos can wake up own sweet time, stop for smokes, makan, berak, at own expense, no supervision, earn more than factory, no need work 8 hours. Yg rajin earning 6-8k working 12 hour shifts hard to find as usual.

Palestinian at Wisma transits kl. All expenses borne by Malaysian right?

i wonder how rohingya survive here, since they dont allow to work. UHCHR give them pocket money?

Why you guys so salty, give them 3d jobs that local don't want to do then cut Bangla intake

Should give them something to work for, leave them rot here will just resort to crime

Your biggest company also want to reduce workforce. Want to increase demand for jobs while the supply keep reducing?

Statistics say we are at full employment,
As for December 2024, Malaysia's unemployment rate hit the lowest rate in nearly nine years at 3.1 percent with 544,300 unemployed.

Pengganas Hamas? No, thanks. Flatten them better.

Got record ok.

Unlike some, came with tourist visa, blending in on 2nd floor shops then vanished like a fart in the wind

ranchiao, kasi kick from this country la

Bagi je bumi

😂🍟👀🍷🍿🤭

Sabah: first time?
After few years can apply PR
Then anak cucu dapat biru ici

Have you read Malaysia’s second take off? We need all the manpower we can get

Malaysian politicians who have been running our country are the real parasites!

butoh

Hell no. Send all of them back or to third countires. I suggest Singapore

Block anyone new from coming in

You allow this ad even more boatloads will come in overwelming citizens

Nice

Better sent up shop/factory in their home countries then. Excellant workers here should also be excellant workers back home

Go innvest in Rahine, Kathmandu or Dhaka. They can do 12 hour shifts easier back home

Crap infra, low pay, worse gomen than PH...best still marehsia.

Gomen nak caya tidak?

Lol some spouse waiting 10 years still cannot get.

The previous govts of decades ago created this mess - creating a big class of citizens who r very choosy with jobs, & the culture of maximum profit with minimum cost practiced by employers.

Bagi je semua terus

Rakyat sendiri tak perlu

people aren't choosy...what do u think they cross the bridge everyday to do?

it's the same job but paid better...that's all
it's actually that easy

u don't see any of our neighboring asean countries keep importing and importing that much trouble makers into their countries

Once the news out...they can work here....many more will come...
But actually now also they working already....kutip sampah lori...

Better than letting them rod and causing issues around.

inkambing rohingjya refugees replace local jobs

Other SEA countries' citizens take up the locally available jobs eventhough the pay is not as expected. Because they've been cultured for ages to do it.

Happened during PM4 era

Another was PM7 era, the same guy forced Shafie to issue project ic 2.0 / PSS, although it didn't implement in the end but cost warisan lost huge number of voter base.

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...s-plan-dropped/

more like the employers there rather pay locals to do it
due to knowing them better and can communicate better

meanwhile employers here kept on going cheaper and cheaper labour....if free even better
until they like to abuse internship

another thing about importing bangla that i don't understand is why are the employers not willing to pay better for locals but rather pay so much and go through so much hassle to import them in
thn after import them in..give them free accommodation, free utilities, free transportation, free food
like we locals have to pay for all of those on top of income tax which they also don't have to pay

Gaza 2.0?

I thought Kotaraya, Petaling Street provides alot jobs to refugees already …

Unker wonder why it took so long to do this?

The usual complaint I hear is truancy & tardiness among locals, who hav all sorts of excuses not to come to work. But foreigners aren't at the luxury nor position to do that. Thus the daily presense of the workers is always guaranteed.

They many mengemis and take your money as well. Super nice.

For 3R jobs not done locals in SG and Thais.
For countries with cheap labour cost and high manpower like Indo, PHP and Viet yes.

Which group msia falls to ?

>increase minimum wage
>allow refugees to work

dia sudah lama rancang. pembayar cukai je yang lalai

A developing country but trying to act like a developed nation.

If the dont work legally . U want gov to support them for free? Are people idiots? This shit should be done a long time ago. Let them work and tax em.

U try pay for local's accommodation, utility bills, transportation and food
And you see if they come to work or not

As if they know how to even do tax
Those bangla today computer also don't have, don't need to learn, don't need to self improve

Meanwhile the locals have to

Some of Those bangla have master and phds

and yet computer also don't have...no need to self improve

have u ever seen a bangla with a laptop before or not?
ever saw them joining any self improvement class or not?

send them back...

no need SPM, naiisee

becoming like singapore already

the consequence will be hard to reverse

-local vs foreigner vs refugees for job market
-bubble society
-more stringent rule
-hard to assimilation
-everyone need either speak bm / english or their language


on the good side is , we all know already

-work 3D job and fill the demand

Very soon, the Indian population will go extinct. Banglas already catching up. In 5 years they will overtake the Indian population easily. Very soon, gomen will give PR and citizenship to these people. And eventually, voting rights.
