The plight of foreign spouses have been raised many time.
I have stated that rightfully, when the marriage is registered in Malaysia should be given a PR Status, as of right.
There really is no justification for the present practice of now giving until they have had their 1-year visas for 5 years, and this means that only after 6 years will they get their PR status.

LEVY - It should be the Employers of foreign migrant workers that should be paying this levy.
It is SO WRONG for Malaysian Government to allow Employers to deduct this levy from the wages of the foreign workers.
Annual levy is, I believe, RM3,600 for restaurant workers. If their wages is RM500, this means more than 7 months wages just go towards paying levy. Then what - employers also deduct their annual medical check-up fee....and other expenses in bringing the worker to Malaysia (plus also the airfare for their return) - end result. There may be no wages left for the worker...and this is so wrong...Oh yes, they do need to buy food, etc...also |
