Dr M: Foreigners will become fourth force in Malaysia if locals shun certain jobs

The revised East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will see Malaysian contractors having a 40% participation in the RM44bil project, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

PUTRAJAYA: Foreign workers will be a fourth force in the country if Malaysians continue to refuse jobs in sectors dominated by them, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.  

With two million Bangladeshis taking up jobs in Malaysia, they would soon be the fourth largest ethnic group after the Malays, Chinese and Indians here, said the Prime Minister.
