As Malaysia attempts to lessen its reliance on foreign

workers and shift up the global value chain, the study
looks comparatively through the government's decision on
the Employer Mandatory Commitment (EMC) and
industrial players’ feedback.

A proposed levy hike is projected to set off superior

automation, increase productivity and efficiencies,
and reduce take-home pay repression among the
native residents.

1 : 2

Mr Low Kian Chuan

(Secretary-General of
the Associated
Chinese Chambers of
Commerce and
Industry of Malaysia)
• The proportion of lawful to illicit
workers in the nation presently remains at
1:2, which means there are two unlawful
vagrant labourers for each legitimately
enrolled workers here.

“Third party point of

views such as of
certain economists
and weekly column
editors are also taken
into consideration.

”
FINDINGS / RESULTS :

The government needs to have a comprehensive and well-rounded

plan to attain their objectives.

Without any appropriate ecosystem, the increase in levy hike would

definitely harm employers who sign up legal and documented migrants the
most while opening opportunities towards the illegal ones through the black
market

The raids carried out by the immigration department against

unregistered foreign labourers have left numerous local developments in
need of help and estates for all intents and purposes unattended to.
CONCLUSION:

A number of our economic sectors are excessively dependent

on foreign labourers. Malaysian employers' reliance on foreign
labourers has achieved a phase that an aggregate weaning
from outside work is soundly inconceivable.
RECOMMENDATIONS:

To do this, a
carrot-and-stick
method should
be employed;
recognition and
incentives could
be offered to
those who stick
by the law.
Cont.

Suitable penalties are meted out to those who

dodge it and employers discovered contracting
or protecting overstayers or holders of fake
visas and travel papers will have their bank
accounts and assets seized or solidified.
LIMITATION #1

The undocumented data that cannot be proven

as well no specific figures are mentioned in
statements elaborating that many industries will
suffer badly.
 LIMITATION
#2

Based on the merely

estimation made by the
Malaysian Employers
Federation (MEF) in putting
the total number of legal and
illegal foreign labourers at
six millions.
