Equal Jobs Opportunity under the Malaysia Labor Law

Migrant Care wish to express our concern over the press conference by YAB Lim Guan Eng and YB Chong Eng on "Hiring Local First" which send the translated message to Malaysian employers to "Sack the migrant workers first" in the midst of economic uncertainty.
It is always a common trend that politicians take the advantage of the economic situation to portray their patriotism to gain the political capital and popularity rather than looking into the legal frameworks that dictates Malaysia Law order and conducive industrial relations.
The wisdom of hiring local first in the midst of economic downturn to sustain the employment opportunity is a common sense most legislators should know, However, the action that demand the employers to sack the productive migrant work force and causing early termination of the migrant workers without proper compensation is retarding our existing legal and economic orders.
It is encouraging to learn that YAB Lim Guan Eng understands Outsourcing agent had openly exploit the migrant workers supported by the current migrant workers policies created by Malaysian Home Ministry.
DAP legislators could set trend to take responsibilities of prohibiting all the Outsourcing and the blood sucking foreign workers agencies license in all the Pakatan Rakyat state. YAB LIM Guan Eng can use his power to close down all the outsourcing agents and maid agencies in Penang state the state legislative process.
The only way to control such excessive hiring of exploited migrant workers having a single door recruitment and placement agency that fully control the intake and wages scales with equal job opportunities.
It is a mere rhetoric propaganda by DAP chief minister without proven positive pragmatic actions rather than to re-invent the current economic structure and create new jobs and extend the value chain in Malaysia economy infrastructure frame works to improve the well being of Malaysian citizen

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
