Abstract

The contribution of foreign workers into the rapid development of Malaysia is enormous. Nevertheless, the workers have complained of exploitation and deprivation of their rights by their employers. This study aims to examine the extent to which the allegation and claim are true. It investigates the manner of the said exploitations based on the standards of International Labour Organization (ILO) and Malaysian law. The Qualitative investigation revealed that the rights of foreign workers as clearly set out those Malaysian domestic laws are breached. It therefore concludes that there is a need for Malaysia to take necessary measures in ensuring to stop exploitation and rights of the foreign workers are restored and preserved.
