The growing pace of economic globalisation has created foreign workers where millions of these workers and their families travel to countries other than their own to find work. Foreign workers contribute to the economies of their host countries, and the remittances they send home help to boost the economies of their countries of origin. Many of these foreign workers are predominantly employed as labourers in the country's construction and plantation sectors, restaurants and as domestic maids. However, many of the unskilled foreign workers often enjoy little social protection and are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. It is not uncommon to hear inhumane treatment towards these foreign workers, male and female alike. Some are abused, deprived of proper accommodation and even food and thus, treated very badly. ILO standards on migration provide tools for both foreign sending and receiving countries to manage migration flows and ensure adequate protection for this vulnerable category of workers. On the other hand, the Islamic teachings deplore acts of unkindness to workers, exploitation or ill-treating of workers. Islam enjoins the parties to transact their business with kindness, courtesy, amity and mutual co-operation. Hence, the book 'Foreign Workers: The Law and Practice In Malaysia' contains useful information for employers who wish to recruit foreign workers and for foreign workers to know their rights. This book is moulded with reference to international instruments and domestic legislations. Treatment of these workers from the Islamic perspective is also featured in this book.
