Lessons I've been learning: What it is like to work in Malaysia

Sometime ago, I decided to walk around the residential area -- which is still under construction -- and after few hundred meters of walking, I came across this fellow citizen with all his body soaked in sweat, hiding his head under huge bamboo-made hat in the construction site. The moment he told the plight of him and his fellow co-workers who are respectively from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal and Vietnam, my vision and outlook towards Malaysia have been changed tremendously.

I know, it sure would be injustice to Malaysia being such a wonderful country at the one hand but on the other hand, the so-called employers where many such workers are in is likely to condemn the way they treat human being.

I was just stunned when I saw their accommodation facility that is poorly managed and there's no such thing like hygienic. They were given a container in which five of them have to stay in it and sometimes population reach up to 15/16 to adjust in just the one container.This is something pathetic I've ever seen in my whole life.

I wouldn't have known it unless I see it by myself. Any human being would feel sorry for how they're living to earn few pennies. Still the delightful thing is they've learnt to live their life regardless of what it gives to them. All they want is peace and a moment of happiness to their family and so for themselves.

Though this fellow hesitates to tell me how he felt deeply in heart his eyes explained everything to me. I can see he is not satisfied with the way of his present life. However, he's accepted that life has to go on and living in a hope is the best course of action for now. A kind of hope which PROBABLY would never change for them at least until they remain in Malaysia.

Nepalese here are living life in fear of falling out of line. Basically every humans does but the magnitude of fear in while in Malaysia... well, who's going to advocate them...

Here are few photos I wanted to show you. Check it out!
