The reasons why many Malaysian companies prefer to hire foreign workers.
From the table above, a company can save RM467 by hiring a foreign employee as cashier.
How about 100 cashiers? RM46,500.
Now, I am asking all of you – is it really worth by saving a few hundreds RM and “destroying” the life of one Malaysian?
If we look at this issue from other perspective, it seems that some companies which employing foreign workers tend not to be responsible in taking care of a Malaysian employee along with his/her family members in terms of medical and hospitalization. Today, the costs of medical and surgical treatment are very expensive and the burden should be shared by the companies.
Secondly, companies do not have to contribute 12% to the employee’s future retirement scheme (EPF) by hiring one foreign worker. In fact, the employer’s contribution is increasing according to the local employee’s salary, while it remains the same at RM5 for the foreign worker. So, what is the effect to a Malaysian when they are old (55 years old)? He/she has to work like a dog in order to sustain his/her life because he/she has no retirement plan. (Click here for more 1 2)
I do agree that we need foreign employees for jobs that we don’t have enough people or experts. For example, we don’t have enough doctors in hospitals, lecturers in colleges or engineers in heavy industries. Then, it is reasonable to hire foreign employees in these sectors because it also opens an opportunity of sharing knowledge and technology.
However, I do NOT agree at all in hiring foreign workers in certain industries like retailers (shopping malls), food & beverage, security companies, hotels/resorts, electronic/electrical factories, IT outlets because there are millions of Malaysians who are CAPABLE to DO the work like cashiers, sales promoters, cleaners, security guards, housekeepers, waiters, factory workers, IT technicians and bla bla bla. Since 1970s, we have all the labours – skilled and semi-skilled – trained by local institutions like GIAT MARA, community colleges, polytechnics and other institutions to fulfill the needs in all local industries. So, what is the reason of hiring IT technicians at Low Yat Plaza?
Therefore, I end my words with the following questions for you to answer:
How many Malaysian lives are involved here? You, my fellow Malaysians, answer this question. Look around you – your family, your relatives, your friends, your neighbors – when you answer this question. Share your experience…
.
What will happen to these Malaysians when they do not get the job when all the vacancies have been filled with foreign workers who can’t even speak BM or English well AND don’t understand our multicultural societies?
.
Is it fair for some companies to say Malaysians are not interested to work OR can’t do the work OR are lazy to work when they are rejecting many Malaysian job applicants for the sake of saving RM467?

Faraid Law
Posted by KaMaRaZaMaN on June 24, 2009
Faraid Law
For Muslims only
Ways to divide inheritance (Harta Pusaka)
Note: To use this table, the reader should first ascertain whether the deceased left a wife or husband, and if she or he survived, should look under the appropriate heading. Only in default of either should search be made under “sons and daughters”, “father and mother” and the rest, and then in the order given in the first margin. In each instance it is supposed that there are no nearer relations than those named.
|
(1) Re Mutchilim [1960] M.L.J. 25.
(2) The daughters in such case being residuaries with the son.
(3) The son’s daughters being residuary with the son’s son.
(4) An example of the doctrine of aul or increase.
(5) The mother gets 1/3 of ¾ (that is after deducting the wife’s share). This follows a decision of the Caliph Umar.
(6) The brothers and the sisters are residuaries.
(7) An example of aul.
|
(8) The son’s son and son’s daughter are residuaries.
(9) Example of aul or increase.
(10) Examples of aul or increase
(11) In these cases the daughter and son’s daughter get their Quranic shares while the sister takes as residuary.
(12) The mother gets 1/3 of ½ (that is after deducting the husband’s share).
(13) The brothers and sisters are residuaries.
(14) This is the case of himariyya or musharaka. The full brother and the uterine sisters share the 1/3 share. See Fitzgerald Muhammadan Law p.135 and Nawawi Supra, p.250.
(15) This is the case of Al-akdariya – see Tyabji Muhammadan Law (3rd Edn.) p.874 and Fitzgerald Muhammadan Law p.128 and Nawawi p.253 Supra, (p.22 supra)
(16) This is the case of al-Malikia – see Fitzgerald p.128.
|
(17) There is a doubt whether the son’s daughters (who are excluded as Quranic heirs) are nevertheless entitled to take as residuaries together with the agnatic ascendant or collateral. See Fitzgerald Muhammadan Law, p.124.
(18) In all these cases, as there are two daughters the son’s daughter cannot inherit as Quranic heir. She therefore takes as an agnatic heir and shares the residu with the lower son’s son.
(19) The son’s daughter is a residuary with an equal son’s son.
(20) As there is a “nearer” daughter, the share of the son’s son’s daughter is 1/6 that is the remainder of the 2/3 share of daughters.

////////////////////////////////////////
Basically, Faraid Law is used to divide inheritance (harta pusaka).
So, what can you do to prevent your property from becoming inheritance (harta pusaka)?
It is very easy.
You need to declare your property as HARTA SEPENCARIAN or shared-earning property. It is normally done after the death of the property owner (husband/wife). However, it can be done when you are still living. The first thing that you need to do is to go to Amanah Raya Berhad (link) or Syarie Court (link), and write a will (wasiat) to DECLARE that a certain property (under your name alone) AS a shared-earning property (HARTA SEPENCARIAN) with your SPOUSE. This declaration in your will will avoid any conflicts in the future.
