Abstract

Malaysia is one of the developing countries in South East Asia that is blessed with strategic location and peaceful atmosphere. The uniqueness of Malaysia has attracted a lot of foreign workforce to choose Malaysia as one of their destinations. The proper development of Malaysia has fascinated those who are seeking for job prospects. With the stable economy that can gear up the income and boost up the economic activities for more capital injections, Malaysia is capable of providing more job opportunities . The New Economic Model (NEM) that was launched by Dato Seri Najib TUn Razak has since managed to attract foreign workers to stay and work in Malaysia either on legal or illegal basis. In fact, some of them even get married to local people and somehow makes situation becomes more complicated . The abundance of foreign workers undeniably affects the Malaysian economic, social and political aspects. Thus Malaysian government must move some miles ahead to prevent this problem. Many programs have been organized but the questions here are to what extent that those programs can be truly achieved and what are the implications on Malaysia’s future.
