1.2 million illegal Indon Workers in Malaysia

First of all, apologies for the lack of updates. Have been busy travelling. Not to Bangkok thank goodness but not been able to update the blog.

The Jakarta Post says that 1.2 of the estimated 1.7 million Indonesians working in Malaysia are there illegally.

1.2 million! That's already about half of our Malaysian Indian population and a staggering 10% of our labour force - and I'm sure it's growing quickly.

Which leaves me to ponder - everything our SMEs and our government does, will benefit at least 1 illegal Indonesian worker out of 10 workers.
