Proceedings of Seminar On Public Responses To Foreign Workers in Sabah
Proceedings of the Seminar on Public Responses to Foreign Workers in Sabah, compiled by Azizzah Kassim, presents a collection of studies, research findings, and academic discussions exploring the presence of foreign workers in Sabah and the public’s responses to this phenomenon. The volume highlights key issues such as the drivers of migration, labour demands across strategic economic sectors, local community perceptions, and the long-term socio-economic implications of foreign labour. The papers examine major challenges including documentation and legal status, social integration, pressures on public services, and potential sources of tension or conflict. In addition, the proceedings provide policy-oriented analyses that assess the effectiveness of existing government regulations and propose more sustainable approaches to managing foreign labour. Overall, this work offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between foreign workers, local communities, and state institutions in Sabah, and its significance for shaping future migration policies in Malaysia.
