FOREIGNERS TAKE OVER KLANG ALLEYS!

There is a feeling of helplessness and despair when I read this feature in StarMetro today,FOREIGNERS TAKE OVER KLANG ALLEYS! and a gnawing fear that our Government (State as well as Federal) have lost its direction in controlling the fast growing influx of foreigners into our country. How are we going to even start to control our own destiny when we cannot even limit the damage done to our country because of unmitigated migration of foreigners into our country: The Klang Municipal Council officials seem to also not know what to do, as foreigners like the Myanmaris, the Nepalese and the Indonesians take over whole alleys for their illicit businesses. Now, parts of Klang have been named after the nations from which they come. I feel it's time the State and Federal Govts stand up to face the problem squarely, and answer the following questions with a view to making some real decisions:

• Is it the Government's policy to allow foreign workers only working visas, and that these working visas have specific conditions and duration?
  
• Have the Government ensured that those with expired visas have left the country? Who does the Monitoring?
• Are foreigners allowed to conduct retail and other businesses in Malaysia, and if so, why, and are they given business licences?
  
• Are locals allowed to rent or lease their premises to foreigners, who have no documentary evidence that they have been allowed to conduct businesses in Malaysia? Especially if those foreigners have overstayed their working visas.
  
• If foreigners are NOT ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, why are they allowed to take over shops and alleys. These include premises at Petaling Street, the Selayang wholesale market, among many others.
  

Why keep talking about being a high income nation, when in a few years' time, the number of foreigners will equal the number of Malaysians in its own country? We should be committed to fight to keep our assets to ourselves, protect our shores, and save our diminishing resources like oil and potable water for our citizens. If we look around the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, we see that their Govts take hard and even unpopular steps to ward off blatant and unproductive migration. Only by limiting foreign labour to the minimum can we move towards a high income nation status, not when we have at least 10 million of them to support in 5 years' time. Instead we may soon join the ranks of those "failed nations" around the world..

Think about it

Need to limit foreign labour
