malaysia expelled 380,000 foreign labourers under a recent amnesty, and sent vigilante suads to hunt down and expell those who hadn’t come forward..
now, severe labour shortages mean the malaysian government have had to beg the expelled to return..offering them tourist visas and work..
as is noted here, this is a salutary tale for those who beat the anti-immigrant drum..
also salutary to us who are about to listen to weeks of the anti-immigrant campaigning from winston peters….
