 NINA WIDIYAWATI (PRINTED MEDIA)

“Malaysia is the biggest employer of migrant workers in South East Asia. ere is a paradox that, on the one
hand, the coming of migrant workers contributes to the rising economic development but, on the other
hand, the migrant workers emerge as a social problem. Communication conflicts arise due to cultural
differences and problems of adapting to Malaysian culture. E differences first produce prejudice but later on
increase to stereotyping and, accordingly, to a negative discourse.”

 AHH NA KIM AND DOMINIQUE GROSS(PRINTED MEDIA)

“Using the results of a survey of resident construction workers in Metro Vancouver, we show that a large
minority considers financial prospects and job security to be altered by the availability of TFWs. The
degree of negative sentiments, however, varies with personal characteristics such as age and skill level.
Also resident workers tend to overestimate the size of the temporary foreign workforce, which increases
negative adverse perception “

 TUN MAHATHIR (HYPERMEDIA)

“Kita kerap mendengar berkenaan pekerja asing menutup peluang pekerjaan pekerja Malaysia. Saya amat bersetuju
pekerja asing tidak dibenarkan masuk negara kita supaya pekerja kita dapat cari makan dengan mengisi tempat-tempat
yang dikosongkan oleh pekerja asing.Memang benar pekerja asing menyebabkan wang Malaysia mengalir keluar.
Katanya tiap bulan satu bilion ringgit Malaysia dihantar oleh pekerja asing ke negara mereka. Ini boleh menjejaskan
kewangan kita. Kita dapat selamatkan wang ini jika pekerja kita yang mengisi semua jawatan-jawatan dalam negara”
