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.
