Implication

Survey reveals impacts of legalization and amnesty on irregular migrants in Malaysia, indicating policy gaps.

Key Points

  • Legalization aimed at irregular migrant workers shows limitations, as it neglects nonworking family members.
  • Amnesty allows all irregular migrants to return home legally, but many are unaware of the process.
  • Opposition from employers complicates legalization efforts due to concerns over increased labor costs and production disruption.
  • There is a need for better legal systems to manage issues associated with irregular migrants in Malaysia.
