Askme - "Qatari are becoming cleaver they are looking for cheap labour... basically SLAVES.... Asian works like Donkey and don't demand and if they demand also cannot do any harm to Qatari or Qatar government because of their weakness and lack of support from their own government."...
Do we detect a little bias borne from frustration?
Same thing for foreigners (esp. manual labour) working in Malaysia. And there is also the exit permit thingy - my friend is an employer of a lot of foreign labour and he has to sign off an exit permit for his workers. Not slavery, as you put it, but protection for our own people. It is our country and while we let other people in to work for us, we require some protection. Of course, enforcement is another thing in Malaysia. Here,it's a bit more well enforced, should I say? But, Malaysia is so much bigger than Qatar - a smaller country is easier to police. Butthe point is, the rationale is the same, or similar.
In Malaysia, there is the perception that a foreign worker also "cannot do any harm" to Malaysian or to the Malaysian Govt - legally. You have to know the nitty gritty details of why it appears to be so, but in reality the decisions are fair. We see things (just as we see things in Qatar) from the outside and assume the we know everything. We do not. Unless we are in a particular situation itself, with full facts and transparency, only then can we make an informed decision / opinion. Anything else will be mere assumptions.
