KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has refuted claims in a documentary aired on Al-Jazeera that Malaysia has an estimated four million foreign illegal workers, with some being trafficked into the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) said the documentary had unfairly portrayed Malaysia as if it were flooded with foreign workers.
