home ceragem theraphy- foreign workers

5 today, 262 total. when my son ihsan, asked as to what will happen to kassim, it sets me thinking on this issue and the question was " what would be the humanitaRIAN WAY TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE???. the police, after i believe, establising that no money was to be made in this case, very quickly bundled him to the immigration dept. what would the immigration dept do ????put him in a detention centre ?? or immediately repatriate him????i believe the first thing to do is to try to establish whether he is a threat, if yes , then repatriate, if not, the sensible thing would be to put him to good use, say hand him to my custody and i stand guarantor to ensure that he complies with all our rules and regulations asap. this way everybody is happy, the police have done their job, i get him off the hands of the immigration dept, they don't have to bother accomodating and feeding or repatriating him. kassim would be happy to be free and i would have kassim to help me around here. the spanner in the works is the fact that money have to be paid to agents to get his work permit. this is the stinker in this whole endeavour, the fact that malaysians has to pay exorbitant sums to agents with the right immigration dept connections , in order to secure services of foreign workers. why cant work permits be granted based on a nominal fee??? why has it got to be a scheme of enriching a few favoured agents???thats what this has become. a get rich scheme for a favoured few instead of plugging the nations artificial manpower shortage, and becoming a strenous overhead to employers adding to the cost of doing business.
