Why depend on foreign workers?
Why cannot hire locals?

Is it because they are KAFIRS?

How did the Brits were able to retain their workers without much problem?

Provide basic amenities and a decent salary then locals will work.


Do not be racist and discriminate against other faiths.

Because foreign workers are damn cheap! And our business culture is to make fat profit and nothing else! That's why you see business owners driving around luxury cars but none of them dare to pay minimum salary!
But the thing is, foreign workers are not cheap, they are just as expensive if you really add up everything!
The thing is, blame ourselves! In western countries, they don't really rely on cheap labour except on sectors that really cannot find locals to do them! Example, Australia where fruit picking are given to malays from Malaysia! If you think this is an insult, they are very well paid! In a year, they can make 100k just picking fruits or cleaning offices! That's why you see over one million malays in Australia!

Back in the 80s, we rarely hear about migrant workers in Malaysia! Most of the foreign factories mostly employed malay ladies! And they were well paid back then!

Yes. Many Malaysians had two jobs and they were hardworking.

Then came the bloody racist mamak and his group of robbers who opened the borders for illegals to flood both Peninsular and East Malaysia States. Illegal Indonesians came in waves and now they are the "NEW MALAYS".

Who is the local fellow? Your father, son or relatives?

As far as I know, no Chinaman works in plantation except to boss around.
