Malaysia to recruit 45,000 foreign workers, mostly from India



Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia is set to recruit some 45,000 foreign workers, mostly from India, to overcome massive labour shortages, particularly in the country's small-scale business sectors.

Human Resources Minister Dr S Subramaniam, who is of Indian ethnic origin, Sunday said the government has approved the recruitment of 45,000 foreign workers to meet the demand in 13 small-scale business sectors, which are currently facing manpower shortage.

"They had applied to the prime minister and to my ministry through the Malaysian Associated Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MAICCI) for the government to approve the recruitment of 90,000 foreign workers," said Subramaniam, who is the deputy president of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), a major component party of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN)

He said the government had now agreed to approve the entry of 45,000 foreign workers into 13 business sectors to meet the initial requirement so that they can continue operating.

^I doubt you should be complaining when there are massive labour shortages. But yeah there are many south asian workers in Malaysia. With the construction boom in your country it is expected.

Is there any effort made by your Govt to deport them,
Since its most likely that these people will be exploited.
