ARTICLE HIGHLIGHT

IMPACT OF FOREIGN LABOUR ON INDUSTRY
BY: P IRUTHAYARAJ D PAPPUSAMY

Introduction

The presence of foreign workers in Malaysia is not a new phenomenon. During the colonial period, foreign workers were recruited from China, Indonesia, and India to work in the mines and rubber estates. Malaysia imported foreign workers in the 19th century to develop its plantations and mines. Since both plantations and mines offered year-round jobs, permanent immigrants were encouraged to move to Malaysia.1 In the process many of them acquired citizenship upon the independence of Malaya in 1957. Since, then strict controls were imposed on migration of labour whereby foreign workers who came into Malaysia now are no longer allowed to reside in the country permanently. Thus, it is more apt to refer to them as foreign workers.
