Abstract

The presence of foreign workers is very crucial in the development of our country. Their presence in Sabah has created a big issue and it is difficult to be solved since 1990s. Migrant workers migrate to Malaysia in search of income although they are offered a low salary, unconducive living arrangements and long working hours. This has encouraged the rise of human trafficking. Ministry of Internal Affairs Malaysia is trying to solve this issue by abolishing recruitment of foreign workers through agents and rectify the policy on managing and recruiting foreign workers.
