Foreigners getting out of hand


I REFER to the article “Assaulted orang asli group claims cops sided with attackers” (The Star, March 7).

One can’t help but wonder if Malaysia has reached the “tipping point” in its continued exploitation of cheap low-skilled foreign labour, many of which have been “imported” illegally.

Many times it had been reported that uncontrolled use of so many foreign workers, who have no loyalty to the nation, will cause harm to our social fabric, besides consuming much of our limited natural resources.

Two days ago, some foreigners killed a police officer and injured his partner in Klang, and the latest incident shows the impunity that the Myanmars have acted, though it would seem with tacit backing?

But what is unacceptable is the fact that foreigners, some maybe illegal immigrants, can attack our orang asli, the natives of the land over land dispute.

What a shame!
