There are cases where some foreign workers in Malaysia do not follow local laws and regulations. This situation can arise for various reasons, such as a lack of understanding of Malaysian laws, cultural differences, or even exploitation by employers who fail to provide adequate education or support to their workers. Issues can include overstaying visas, working without valid permits, or engaging in activities outside of their authorized roles. While foreign workers in Malaysia are often associated with 3D jobs (dirty, dangerous, difficult), there are instances where they take on roles beyond these sectors, such as in retail, hospitality, or skilled labor in specialized industries. This shift can sometimes create tension as these positions are often viewed as more desirable or less taxing compared to 3D jobs, which are generally less appealing to local workers. It's essential for authorities and employers to ensure fair hiring practices, provide equal opportunities to all workers, and make sure that foreign workers comply with the job descriptions stated in their work permits. Additionally, there are concerns about some foreign workers or migrants opening restaurants or small businesses without proper licenses or operating beyond the scope of their work permits. Such practices can lead to unfair competition with local businesses, as these establishments may not adhere to the same regulations, taxes, or quality standards expected of Malaysian entrepreneurs. There has also been a rise in cases of foreigners begging on the streets, sometimes using children or other vulnerable individuals to gain sympathy. This not only raises concerns about exploitation and human trafficking but also creates a negative perception of foreigners among the local population. These activities are illegal in Malaysia and can damage the image of law-abiding foreign workers who contribute positively to the country's economy. Moreover, some foreign workers and businesses have been reported to hoard or resell subsidized items like cooking oil, fuel, or essential food products that are intended for local use. These items are usually subsidized by the Malaysian government to lower the cost of living for its citizens, ensuring that basic necessities remain affordable. When foreign workers or illegal traders exploit these subsidies, it causes shortages in the market and places a financial strain on the government's resources, undermining its efforts to support the local population. More serious criminal activities, such as involvement in gangsterism, illegal syndicates, or the possession of firearms, have also been linked to certain groups of foreign nationals. Some have been found to engage in organized crime, extortion, smuggling, or drug trafficking, posing a threat to the safety and security of local communities. The presence of foreign nationals involved in criminal gangs or in possession of illegal firearms like pistols not only breaches the law but also contributes to a sense of fear and insecurity among the public. These activities tarnish the reputation of foreign workers in Malaysia, as they are seen as taking advantage of the country's resources or threatening its social order. To address these issues, it is crucial for law enforcement agencies to implement stricter regulations, conduct regular monitoring, and take firm action against those who break the law. Ensuring that everyone abides by the law helps maintain a fair and secure environment for both locals and foreigners while protecting Malaysia's social and economic stability. So what do you think about it? For me as Malaysian, we accept all people around the world but the important thing must follow our Malaysian Rule and Law, respect our Malaysian Culture and the local people.

Those kids are not wrong, sometimes the migrant worker leaves an inaccurate perception to other tourist, giving the impression that locals behaves in a way that makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable. It takes a while for foreigners to be able to distinguish Malaysian locals and the migrants because of Malaysians diverse racial background & skin colours. So that is why, when you interview tourist how they feel about Malaysians, it is important to ask them if they can distinguish between locals and migrants.
@benfishermin
Күн бұрын
No tourist can distinguish the difference between a migrant and a local Malaysian. That's why I ask them their experience with the "people in Malaysia". Because at the end of the day what really matters is the interactions they are having with people here. The tourist does not really care which country the person is from, they are gonna equate that experience with the country of Malaysia.

Since you do surveys and post them on yr channel, asking them wether they are malaysian or not, what nationality they have, where they were living when you intvd them are the best thing to do, as per some suggestions here. Thats the easiest way to distinguish who and who. I mean who would dare lie and get viral after? And the answer from a local who live in KL or a local who just come visiting or from a foreigner differs depending on the topics. And widen the age range of the person that you chose too cause the answer from a genZ will be differ from their fathers. Also get a local guide if you can. Since some local will be too shy or camera concious...it makes it easier for them to convey their msg and speak their mind if they can speak in Malay or Mandarin or others..

Most Malaysians welcomed foreigners to work & travel legally. But 1 important aspects that worries locals is “country reputation” on safety as most SEA countries is on a race to achieve ‘developed’ status like Singapore. As locals myself, migrants workers really helped cities in Malaysia stay clean, developed & well maintained. But in other side, they have no idea how to ‘behave’ according local norms (like spitting on streets & stare people directly etc). I think this is TheGov responsibility to educate migrant before giving permits/visa. In my opinion, Singapore is an ideal image when many rich western expats scramble to live there by putting aside their ‘west freedom values’ & just follow strict Singaporean laws.

I think certain migrant groups have a stigma attached to them because of how a minority of them broke laws here in the past. Ben stays in Ampang from what I see. In the past 15-20 years. Most of the house break ins in Ampang were done by foreigners - indonesians and even that South American Latino group targeted houses in Taman Tar. Recently though I think there are bubbles popping up in KL where foreigners reside and due to the large numbers of them in those bubbles, they don't tend to bother integrating and following local societal norms. I've seen it in a few condos in KL, where you see foreigners wash their clothes by a condo's swimming pool, drink and play music in a condo's common areas late into the night etc.

Wow the first guy and the second group of young men are impressive in their articulation. I’m happy to see young folks who think well. Actually all four interviews are great 😊Made my day. Kudos to them all. Anyway I don’t agree with cheap labour. Labour is labour. Pay them the same as the locals otherwise just hire locals. Also why do laborious jobs deserve to get paid peanuts? In Australia the construction workers get paid really well. They are skilled at their jobs. Cheap labour has consequences in the long run. Employers will look for foreigners instead of locals because they can pay lesser, leaving less jobs for locals. It creates an imbalance and so you see too many migrants now right? They band together so they don’t really get to mix with others, creating us vs them issues. It further divides people into classes and hence the problems you keep hearing about in the comments about migrant workers. Don’t take advantage of those who are trying to make a better life. Singapore is the same. Foreign workers like Bangladeshis, Indonesians etc etc are taken advantage of. It’s not nice. I know because I interact with them and ask them questions. It’s a dog eat dog world but it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s an easy fix but of course the flawed and greedy capitalism concept comes first.

It’s true that Malaysia has seen a significant influx of foreign workers, particularly in industries such as construction, agriculture, and service sectors. While their contributions help fill important labor gaps, there are legitimate concerns regarding the impact of this large-scale immigration. Some challenges arise when certain individuals fail to respect local laws, particularly regarding cleanliness, road safety, and community harmony. There have been unfortunate cases where involvement in crime, such as scams or other illegal activities, has heightened anxieties. The key is in balancing economic necessity with better regulation and integration efforts, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their origin, adhere to the rules and contribute positively to society. This could foster a more harmonious environment for all, citizens and immigrants alike.

Such as 1) Bringing in unsafe sanitary habits into Malaysia. Examples. a) Restaurant workers washing dishes in puddles and drain water. WTH!!! b) Rearing and butchering chickens in closed shoplots, which is against health and sanitation code in Msia. I've never heard of this practice done by Msian in my 58 years. 2) Illegally taking over market place and displacing permitted Msian grocers. 3) Rearing animals indoors in their homes. etc

Well, globally speaking, tourists can be a good thing, and can also be a bad thing. Keep it all in check is key. Tourists brings revenue to the country, but not without a price. Some foreigners tend to bring their culture to the country they visit, which will of course make the locals feel uncomfortable. I think your interview questions could be more clear, do you mean "immigrants" or "tourists" when you say foreigners. I think, generally speaking most countries welcome tourists, but immigrants is another story. It's the same issue anywhere in the world. Then there is a group of expats, who bring their strong currency, can enjoy the country low cost of living, and live a luxury life style, but middle income locals can't enjoy the same luxury. People tend to complain about the immigrants and yet there are the ones who are willing to work hard. In US, they are the ones showing up early to work in factories, in Malaysia, no Malays want to work in rubber or palm oil plantations, or construction sites, so the jobs are given to immigrants from Indonesia and Bangladesh. If anything they should be respected and given legal papers, and not exploited by agencies owned by the sharks of the world.

I think most countries are welcoming to foreigners as long as they are respectful and "play by the rules". The tourists or digital nomads who engage in inappropriate activities give the rest of the tourists/foreigners a bad rap. Always see yourself as a guest in the country you're visiting or staying in, the locals will be more welcoming and value any contribution you make.

I think some of the interviewees had mistakenly ‘foreigners’ as ‘tourists’ in your question. They didn’t think you are referring to the ‘labourers’ or the illegal migrants in Malaysia. However, good try.

i think, asking Malaysian elderly or like Malaysian parents for their perspective on this is quite good too since young people tend to be more positive and look towards the future, expanding friends and mutuals etc. for the parents or the elderly, i know for sure that they'll have different opinions on this. the difference between eras born and lived in will result in different answers.

If they just here to work there won't be a problem. Those here on tourist visa to work (not legal) is between them and our government. Malaysians are still strong in community so the foreigners fall in line with us, most of them become like us because they like our casual culture, in fact I've seen westerner turn local too because of that. I think we are the most casual nation in SEA.

Some of them are good and kind some of them are bad and have personality issues. Do they steal our job? Not really. I use to work in FnB line as a manager and most local youngster does not last long to work. That is why company prefers to recruit foreigners as fnb staff 😂

Excuse me?? I think you need to ask the local Women here in KL! We are suffering from those especially from INDIA!! They hire them as security in our condo’s and some construction workers… do you know they act like they have never seen WOMAN before?? How many times we get cat called and whistling and stares from top to bottom? Currently I’m living In my condo and I hate coming home where I don’t even feel coming home is safe anymore! This security keeps staring at me whenever I come home and sometime he purposely tries to go in the same lift as me and I hve to quickly step out.. when complain to the management they said staring is not a crime… ok fine.. as long as he didn’t touch me…. They still let him work there and now his gaze and stares are even stronger… But the Nepal foreigners on the other hand… are the best!! They don’t exchange any sexualizing gawks and stares at you. Most friendliest, polite and kind!

As long as they come in legal, documented, leave after the period is up, follow the law and authority in Malaysia. The thing is Malaysia has so many leeway for foreigners or migrant workers to take advantage of. Also too many cases people from neighbouring country like Indonesia is constantly try to go into Malaysia illegally because of job opportunities and higher currency. Not only that, Rohingya people also did the same, using makeshift boat, intentionally stranded on sea until reaching Malaysia's shore , cause they know Malaysian authority will always so humanely kind to save them. Furthermore, there's also a problem where some migrant worker change their designated job like let say plantation , then they open a stall, shops, which is not allowed by the law. Lastly, i really don't like how some foreigners become beggars in city centre, on tourist attractions , on pedestrian pavement , it really an eyesore cause even Malaysian has municipal council law to be followed regarding collecting donation and money

It really depends where you go.. i work all around kl and surrounding klang valley.. the foreigner issue depends if you are talking about tourists or contractors.. the ones who are here legally or illegally.. it is definitely an issue with too many illegal foreigners overstaying work/student visa and abuse our system.. many are illegally employed and even taken advantage of with little human rights and living in squalid conditions. Many 2/3 multistory shoplots have become illegal residences for these workers. Our immigration agencies often catch hundreds of them during each raid.. the exact numbers are in millions.. it definitely an issue.. not that they are bad people or anything, they are simply looking for better income. Eventually it will cause a huge societal problem if left unchecked.

The issue with foreigners if you’re referring to migrant workers, often time you mentioned Bangladeshis is that, people ( tourists) tend to have a wrong impression of the face and voice of Malaysia because these migrants workers. I have no problem with having them here, I have problem with them bringing their habits here.

There is a problem when the foreigners are from Indonesia and Bangladesh as they can easily be given Malaysian citizenship and when that happens these people are also considered bumiputera and they will have more benefits compared to people of other races who has been here for generations. Other than that, I don’t really see a reason why locals do not want too many foreigners in Malaysia.
