Apparently, there is concern that Malaysians working abroad, feeling the pinch of the economic downturn worldwide, will soon flood the already-saturated Malaysian market.To make matters worse, we have foreigners and ‘illegals’ here in the country. It is said that 252,600 new jobs created in the country each year almost 45% went to foreigners. Odd, considering that there is supposed to be a glut of unemployed graduates here in Malaysia.
Personally, I know a whole family of Malaysians in the UK who have been laid off, and because one of the family members has PR, they all would prefer to stay there, a family of four living on the puny income of one person. So much for sucking back Malaysian talent. Based on this one example, maybe it’s not surprising that 45% of Malaysian jobs might go to foreigners.
