- stevenwoo 8y agoThat's merely an extension of what is covered in the article, legal immigrants must pay a commission (two bribes AFAIK to immigrate) go to Malaysia and the visa/legal immigration is tied to the employer who uses that leverage and the debt to force the immmigrant employee into a different arrangement much more advantageous to the employer in tech or fisheries or domestic work. It's seems no different than what we've been reading for years about Abu Dhabi or United Arab Emirates. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/19/nyregion/workers-at-nyus-abu-dhabi-site-face-harsh-conditions.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/19/nyregion/workers-at-nyus-... https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/oct/23/migrant-domestic-workers-uae-beaten-abused https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/oct/23/m...
