Foreign workers 外國勞工

Malaysians are getting lazier, depending more on foreign labours. We simply cannot survive without foreign workers!

Officially there are about 2 million foreign workers in Malaysia. It is widely believed that there are a million more illegals joining the workforce.

The contribution of foreign workers are from Indonesia ( 50.9%), Bangladesh (17.4%), Nepal (9%), Myanmar (7.8%), India (6.3%) and the rest from Vietnam.

They are distributed mainly in manufacturing sector (39%), construction (19%), plantation (14%), housemaids (12%) and service sector.

Indonesia has recently hit Malaysia's vulnerable point by freezing the export of housemaids to Malaysia demanding higher pay and better working condition. Malaysian households depend heavily on Indonesian maids.

Being the biggest supplier of foreign workforce, Malaysia has to kow tow to Indonesia in many other affairs.

Lately I noticed foreign workers have taken over hawker food stalls and car washing! (mostly are illegals)

And we are getting lazier .... no longer washing our car and motorcycle ... due to the availability of cheaper workforce.

Motorcycle washed by foreign workers too.

馬來西亞人越來越懶惰了。假如沒有外国劳工（外劳），我们的生活可痛苦了！

官方的正式數字，馬來西亞有大約二百萬名外勞。一般普遍的相信，還有另一百萬名非法的外勞在我們的勞工市場中。

我國外勞的主要來源是印尼（50.9%），孟加拉（17.4%），尼泊爾（9%），緬甸（7.8%），印度（6.3%）及其他的來自越南。

這些勞力主要分佈在製造業（39%），建築業（19%），種植業（14%），家庭佣人（12%）及服务业等。

最近印尼冻结出口女佣到马来西亚来。这是对我国的一个致命绝招，因为大部分马来西亚的家庭都得依靠印尼的女佣。

印尼是马来西亚的最大劳力输出国，所以马来西亚在很多其他事务上，都得忍气吞声。

我最近发觉到，外劳也已经攻占了小贩食物档及洗车中心！（大部分都是非法的外劳）

我们越来越懒惰了！
While Bangladeshi workers washing cars, Indonesian workers are busy building houses and shops across the road (arrow)

这厢孟加拉外劳忙着洗车，隔一条马路之遥的印尼劳工正忙着筑造屋子及店屋。
