Indian Illegal Immigrants
There are thousands of Indian restaurants all over Malaysia, and most of them operate 24 hours. These Indian restaurants have become the norm in Malaysia for a majority of the population as an eatery and social gathering. The need of service labour has also increased exponentially in the last few years. However, most of these restaurants are not qualified to engage legal foreign workers. This circumstance has caused most of the restaurant owners to bring in their own relatives and friends from India to work in Malaysia.
Since 2008, due to the high number of illegals in Malaysia, the Malaysian government has decided to cease issuing work permits for service workers. This has caused even more illegal Indian nationals in Malaysia to resort to work without any valid work permit.

Famous quotes containing the words indian, illegal and/or immigrants:
“If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth, and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented, nor will he grow and prosper. I have asked some of the great white chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They can not tell me.”
—Chief Joseph (c. 1840–1904)
“No more astounding relic of the subjection of women survives in western civilization than the status of the prostitute.... In connection with what other illegal vice is the seller alone penalized, and not the buyer?”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
