NST Leader: Behind the glitter, a dark reality for migrants
Malaysia is positioned at a unique geographical and economic intersection. The peninsula, together with Sabah and Sarawak, is shielded from earthquakes, typhoons and volcanoes. It offers desirable destinations, lush rainforests, rich biodiversity, scenic beaches and warm weather. Malaysia is also a trading powerhouse, attracting multinationals and manufacturers. Yet there is one aspect of its appeal Malaysia might wish to avoid — the same allure that attracts multinational investment also draws migrants desperate for jobs, informal trade or asylum. Migrant workers are eager to find a way into Malaysia's economy and prosperity. But the reality is often grim. Migrants, in their eagerness to benefit from Malaysia's prosperity, often end up disappointed — and sometimes, dead. Malaysia's appeal also attracts syndicates that exploit vulnerable people, trapping them in forced labour and prostitution. The government, long criticised for its failure to address human trafficking, recently dismantled a syndicate involving Immigration Department officers conspiring with traffickers to bring in migrant workers. On June 2, a syndicate tried to smuggle in 240 Bangladeshis, 33 Pakistanis and six Indian nationals into Malaysia through the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The authorities issued Not-To-Land (NTL) orders to these people, whose travel patterns matched those of previous illegal entries linked to trafficking syndicates. The foreigners had identical travel itineraries, scripted responses and suspicious documentation. Between June 2023 and May 2024, 25,568 NTL orders were recorded nationwide. The highest numbers were logged during public holidays and school breaks. Malaysia has been added to the United States State Department's Tier 2 Watch List, indicating it meets the minimum standards in addressing human trafficking, though serious concerns remain. The government must better identify and protect vulnerable people, particularly household workers and those in sectors such as oil palm and disposable glove manufacturing. Several key recommendations include training enforcement officers to investigate and prosecute traffickers, expanding labour protections and educating migrants of their rights, especially in holding on to their passports. The government should eliminate recruitment or placement fees, expand freedom of movement and increase victims' access to communication with people outside shelter or detention facilities. Above all, the government must expose and prosecute officials complicit in human trafficking. Without their protection, such exploitation would be harder to sustain.

Tourists in front of the main gate to Harvard Yard on April 15, 2025 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. – AFP file photo PUTRAJAYA (June 8): Malaysian students attending Harvard University can continue their studies without being interrupted by their visa status for now, the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) said. This follows the latest development on the visa issue, with a United States (US) federal court judge ruling to grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) after an application was filed by Harvard, providing relief to over 6,800 international students there. The ministry said in a statement today that it was monitoring the developments of this issue closely through Education Malaysia Washington D.C. (EMWDC). 'The decision enables international students, including Malaysian students, to continue studying without interruption for the time being. 'The ministry and EMWDC have also reached out to related sponsors and US education officials. The ministry welcomes their commitment to work together to ensure the wellbeing of our students,' the ministry said. The MOHE also reminded students to update their optional practical training information and to be careful in all action involving immigration matters. 'For now, no Malaysian student has been reported to have encountered any problems or issues with their records with the Student and Exchange Visitor Programme (SEVIS) and any withdrawal of their visas,' the ministry said. It also recommended new students for Harvard's September 2025 intake to deal directly with the university and their sponsors to obtain the latest developments before making any further decisions. The ministry reiterated Malaysia's belief that cross-border higher education was an important platform to global talent development, knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships between countries. The ministry urged all parties to remain calm, act based on verified information, and to prioritse students' welfare when dealing with the issue and would continue to support Malaysian students abroad regardless of the situation in line with the Malaysia MADANI concept. – Bernama education Harvard student visa
