Malaysian new gahmen trying to squeeze illegals. I am sure soon, some kind of solution will be found if illegals " settle". Most likely through a private agency to secure a work permit appointed by the ministry. And employers will pay as these people are hardworking. Some in markets, or vegetable farm, illegals took over their bosses business upon retirement.
It is impossible to deport or detain tens of thousands. Families in tow.
The entire economy depends on illegal foreigners. They just come as there is demand. Until the time no jobs are available, these guys may stop coming.
I know factories that hired hundreds of illegals. It came in the news about slave labour condition and possible sactions before they improved the working conditions.
