公開引進6國外勞
(布城訊)副首相拿督斯里納吉宣佈,公開引進任何有意前來大馬工作的外勞,不管是在特赦期前被遣送回國的非法外勞,或是初次申請進入大馬工作的外勞。
他週一中午主持外勞內閣委員會會議後,在新聞發佈會說,大馬政府在之前的非法外勞特赦期間,遣送了30萬個非法外勞回國,可是至今回到大馬繼續工作的外勞人數,卻只有當中的1萬1000人而已。
他說,目前在大馬工作的各國外勞人數共有150萬人,而當中有100萬人是印尼人。
納吉指出,除了印尼,大馬也將引進其他國家的外勞,包括巴基斯坦、印度、尼泊爾、緬甸與越南。
瞭解中小企業勞工荒
他表示瞭解大馬中小型企業目前所面對的勞工荒問題,並會盡力加以協助。
出席會議者包括國內事務部長拿督阿茲米卡立、人力資源部長拿督馮鎮安、 公共工程部長拿督斯里三美威魯、國際貿易與工業部長拿督斯里拉菲達、鄉村與區域發展部長拿督阿都阿茲、旅游部長拿督廖麥克、國內安全部副部長拿督諾奧馬及衛生部政務次長李家全。
他解釋,在非法外勞特赦期前,大馬批准了9萬4000名外勞前來大馬工作的申請,而後在特赦期後,又批准了另外的7萬5000名外勞。
“由於大馬政府承諾在特赦期間被遣返回國的非法外勞,將獲得優先保留他們原有的工作,因此之前大馬批准的9萬4000名外勞份額暫時凍結。”
“可是,這批特赦期間被遣返的外勞卻久久不見回來工作,導致大馬各領域目前面對勞工荒,因此委員會今日決定公開讓任何國家的外勞申請前來大馬工作。”
菜農面對外勞短缺
他舉例,向國際貿易與工業部登記的相關企業,都沒有面對勞工荒問題,只是菜農正面對外勞短缺的問題,而他促請這些菜農直接與內務部聯繫,以讓內務部安排外勞給他們。
至於大馬各領域目前缺乏多少外勞的數據,他表示內務部將成立一支特別技術小組,以對目前各領域所面對的外勞短缺人數進行統計。

In fact, relevant industry do lack of labor. But somehow...it is the best idea to solve our problem. Well, everything has its pro and con. Read one article before which claimed that our country fail to attract our professional that currently working in foreign country. Conversely, attract lot of foreign worker as mentioned in the article. The ratio of local professional that we trying so hard to employ them and the foreign worker is rather high.Just some stuff to share here ;)
I don't know.. its like our market is kinda "Spoilt" Say in the construction industry, lots of foreign labour are employed with extremely low wages and most of them are exploit..means they worked more than 16 hours a day! I think one reason why our own skilled labour are no longer interested in working for here is that the wages are just too low.
What you say is right, everything have its pro and cons, yes no doubt we get cheap labour. But with cheap labour we only get low quality and lousy workmanship!
I hope they have better way to handle worker health because I heard fr some employers saying that relevant organization didn't have body check out for workers before they come here.Some disease they bring along which is already obsolete in Malaysia long time ago.
That is another serious issue the respective party should take note of. Health problem is not something to be taken lighly, further it is inhuman to treat ppl this way.. have you seen the construction site camp where all the foreign worker stayed in? Its in terrible condition! Extremely unhealthy! Some contractor and developer would go to the point of cheating these people's hard earn money!! Personally I think it actually contribute to more crime rate...
