THE presence of immigrants, be they legal or illegal, is already causing some social and security problems in this country. Thus, the decision to bring in another 1.5 million legal foreign workers in stages is definitely an issue that requires serious reconsideration.
I am seeing more foreigners who are slowly but surely taking up the economic opportunities of the locals. The legal foreign workers are only allowed to work in certain sectors such as plantation and construction, and I understand this allocation is also based on their country of origin.
