Foreign Workers = Unsung Heroes

Saw a posting from The Malaysian which shocked me. Go read it if you haven't here. Is there anyone in Malaysia that even care about the foreign workers? They are the unsung heroes of the Malaysian economy. They fill up the jobs where no Malaysian wants. Without them do you think the construction industry can survive? Our economy is very dependant on them.

Its stupid how we like to push all of the blame to the foreign workers when it comes to crime. Are we so short-sighted that we can't even notice that most of the major cases involving murder and rape are actually done by Malaysians? Are the authorities taking the easy way out by pushing all the blame to the foreign workers? Do they think that crimerates plunge all of a sudden after the implementations?

By putting foreign workers into a prison-like working environment, won't it cause even more social problems? When you restrict ones freedom you are taking away their precious sanity and that will be even worse when a legion of them break-free from their confinement. More chaos will ensue.

Is there any police in Malaysia left that actually respect basic human rights? Beating up peaceful protestors is one thing.. confining innocent people is the lowest one can get its like we are turning more and more into Nazis!

I wouldn't be surprise if one day all Malaysians are confined into their taman's when the problem is still not solved.
