OCT 11 In an earlier essay which appeared underneath this section entitled "Something is decaying about displaced chairman workers' entrance rules" (September 19, 2011), we had utterly plainly pragmatic which a supervision lacked a will to fight a undocumented workers complaint in a republic as good as which rampant corruption had blurred a prophesy of a authorities from within as good as though a republic in creating a purify as good as protected environment for locals contracting unfamiliar workers as good as for unfamiliar workers themselves.
I had additionally called for a authorities to stop a flood of undocumented workers as good as to keep a shores protected from health-related as good as amicable problems as good as "undocumented" criminals in motion in a midst though fear.
It did not take long for all of a above to be reinforced in a media in a days which followed.
theSun (September 21) carried a front-page essay which shouted "Unapproved labour"! The Star as good as New Straits Times carried identical articles. The home apportion revealed which 2,320,034 unfamiliar workers were purebred via a biometric system. Of these 1,303,120 were illegals (almost 50 per cent), some 327,991 of whom were employed in mining, automobile workshops, fast-food restaurant as good as food stalls as good as as fishermen as good as newspaper vendors. Some of these illegals have been self-employed as good as some have become employers. These areas have been not in a approved list of work for foreigners.
The saddest part of this whole episode is which Hishammuddin Hussein, whose Home Ministry was accorded No. 1 standing for Key Performance Indicator (KPI) achievement, is quoted as saying: "Even though a scenario is not new, it is difficult for a authorities to take action opposite them due to falsification of documents as good as identities as good as alternative abuses of work permits as good as passes."
And thoughts you, he adds: "As such, a Home ! Ministry is considering suggestions by employers who have pleaded which special accede be since for a bootleg workers in a non-approved sectors to be included in a legalisation process."
I am exasperated, breathless as good as utterly lost. People who plea conditions set by a Home Ministry, falsify documents, cheat, distortion as good as abuse have been postulated a reprieve?
You even have fast-food chains "respected" as good as probably internationally-recognised food outlets contracting bootleg workers? And we acquit that! Hey minister, have we any respect for yourself? Doesn't it annoy we when foreigners as good as especially local employers do not give a damn for your rules as good as regulations as good as what we say?
At this indicate let me warp a small as good as draw a readers' attention to an situation which happened to a friend of cave some time back. This was over an SMS informing him of a estimable cash win. My friend, recognising which it was a scam imagining from an Indonesian mobile number, called to bluster a sender with a military inform though a reply he got was: "Report-lah! Malaysian punya polis semua bodoh-lah!"
As a Malaysian how did we feel? Anger yes, though during a same time wasn't he right? Has this flay right away spread to a home apportion as good as a deputy prime apportion too?
In The Star (September 25), Amy Chew featured an essay titled "Hiring maids approach is risky" with a supplement which read, "Malaysians entering Indonesia to recruit maids face arrest underneath a laws of a republic as a anathema is still in place." This was quoted by a Indonesian Manpower as good as Transmigration Ministry's director-general for Development, Protection as good as Placement of Migrant Workers, Reyna Usman.
He says: "Yes, a chairman coming to Indonesia to without delay recruit a lassie can be arrested."
Suryana Sastradiredja, apportion counsellor for information, amicable as good as cultural affairs during a Indonesian Embassy, is ! a single male who seems strongly opposite approach recruitment. Yet Amy's essay itself starts with pleasing stories about approach recruitment. Both employer as good as worker get to know each alternative prior to formal arrangements.
Suryana says: "If a lassie recruited without delay gets a great employer who pays her salary as good as treats her good then which is fine, though if she is unlucky as good as ends up with a bad employer who abuses her, it would be tough for us to snippet her as we won't know where she lives."
Does any a single see any sense in this argument? The usually disproportion in approach recruitment is a expulsion of a agent/s. All alternative documentation is still available. Besides, how arguable have agents been?
In annoy of all which has happened, a single thing is severely absent, a executive governing physique to embrace complaints from maids, employers as good as whistle-blowers, conduct mark checks as good as make a provisions of agreements signed in between employer as good as maid.
Why can't an group like Biro Angkasa be established through which salaries have been paid to all displaced chairman workers?
If a Malaysian supervision is genuine, it should come down tough upon those who come in a republic illegally as good as who have been made bootleg by unethical agents; this constitutes human trafficking. we refer to right away as good as beyond.
The 6P programme promised to action opposite those who did not respond to this amnesty (past). So those who have been still upon a shores illegally contingency be caught, suitable action taken as good as sent back though compromise. Not a single undocumented non-Malaysian contingency reside upon a shores. The Home Ministry as good as a supervision contingency do this promise made plainly to a nation. Malaysians have been waiting to be absolved of a menace of bootleg immigrants around us. No modifications, no compromise, please! The supervision contingency honour a pledges to a people. Otherwise a! supervi sion will go upon to remove credibility.
A friend once responded to a slogan "Dijamin oleh kerajaan" by retorting, "Siapa nak jamin kerajaan?"
Please do not make this republic a shouting stock to a outside world. Do not embarrass Malaysians with statements which have been not honoured. The government's failure is a slap upon a face of each Malaysian. Being plainly told "bodoh" isn't pleasing during all. aliran.com
