Peningkatan jumlah pendatang asing tanpa izin (PATI) menimbulkan pelbagai masalah dalam negara dari aspek sosial dan perundangan yang harus diberikan perhatian serius oleh pihak berkuasa. Pihak kerajaan terutamanya telah melakukan pengawalan strategik untuk menangani isu PATI di Malaysia agar mereka dapat diuruskan dengan cara yang lebih efisien. Antaranya termasuklah mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap pekerja asing, meningkatkan kerjasama dengan negara sumber dan juga pihak yang relevan dengan masalah ini. Tumpuan terhadap tindakan penguatkuasaan tegas patut dijalankan di kawasan sempadan negara secara dua hala, dan juga mengenakan hukuman yang berat mengikut lunas undang- undang terhadap kesalahan berkaitan dengan PATI, tanpa mengira sama ada mereka terdiri daripada pendatang asing ataupun warganegara Malaysia. Kata kunci: aspek sosial, migrasi, perundangan, PATI, penguatkuasaan, Abstract This article will discuss the problems arising from migration trends in Malaysia. The rising number of illegal immigrants has become an acute problem from both social and legal points of view, and must be given due attention by the authorities. The government has begun taking steps to deal with the issue of illegal immigrants in a more efficient manner. Among these 174 KANUN [DISEMBER 2014] is decreasing dependence on foreign workers, and increasing cooperation with sourcing countries, as well as other related parties. Attention should be given to strict two way enforcement at the border areas and the imposition of stringent punishment in accordance with the law for offences relating to illegal immigrants, notwithstanding whether they are illegal immigrants or Malaysian citizens. Keywords: social aspect, migration, illegal immigrants, legislation, enforcement PENDAHULUAN Migrasi merupakan suatu fenomena tradisi di Malaysia. Fenomena ini menjadi sebahagian daripada proses pembangunan ekonomi dan sosial bagi masyarakat terdahulu. Dalam konteks sejarah, Malaysia telah menerima pekerja asing sejak awal abad ke-20, apabila kerajaan kolonial Inggeris memperkenalkan dasar imigrasi liberal. Akibat daripada dasar tersebut, ramai pekerja asing terutamanya dari China, India dan Indonesia dibawa masuk dalam sektor perladangan, pembinaan, perlombongan dan pentadbiran (Hugo, 1993). Malaysia menjadi negara penyumbang dan penerima pekerja asing bukan sahaja di rantau Asia Tenggara bahkan di dunia, dengan menyumbangkan pekerja mahir dan mengimport pekerja kurang mahir. Namun begitu, kebanyakan pekerja Malaysia yang bekerja di luar negara dalam jangka panjang, manakala pekerja asing di Malaysia lebih kepada pekerja kontrak atau sementara (Kanapathy, 2006). Perkembangan dan kemajuan ekonomi sesebuah negara akan membuka lebih banyak peluang pekerjaan bukan sahaja kepada penduduk tempatan tetapi kepada masyarakat luar. Malaysia, yang bilangan penduduknya sekitar 27 juta merupakan antara negara yang pesat perkembangan ekonominya di Asia Tenggara. Keadaan ini menjadikannya sebagai tempat tumpuan untuk mencari pekerjaan. Ledakan globalisasi yang semakin rancak mengakibatkan setiap negara mengamalkan dasar buka pintu, menerima kemasukan pekerja asing. Castells (1997) berpendapat bahawa kekayaan, teknologi dan kuasa antarabangsa telah mengakibatkan masyarakat dunia mengalami perubahan yang pesat. Era globalisasi dan informasi dunia telah meningkatkan integrasi ekonomi, dan kerajaan menghadapi masalah untuk mengawal kawasan sempadan mereka sendiri. Kemasukan pendatang asing terutama yang tidak sah dilihat dapat mewujudkan masalah politik apabila faedah daripada migrasi tersebut tidak dikongsi bersama dengan entiti yang wujud di sesebuah negara penerima. Permasalahan Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin di Malaysia dari Aspek Sosial dan Perundangan 26 KANUN (2) Rusniah Ahmad, Mohamed Naiem Ajis dan Saadon Awang 175 Kanapathy (2008) mengatakan bahawa pengurusan migrasi merupakan sesuatu tanggungjawab yang kompleks dan mempunyai cabaran yang tinggi, ditambah dengan faktor keadaan geopolitik dan budaya yang amat menyukarkan pihak berkuasa untuk mengawal pengaliran warga asing terutama pendatang asing tanpa izin. Dengan perkembangan aktiviti industri dan ekonomi yang pesat di Malaysia, penerimaan kemasukan pekerja asing merupakan sesuatu yang sukar dielakkan. Tambahan, pula kekurangan sumber tenaga kerja tempatan bagi sektor tertentu menyebabkan peluang tersebut terbuka kepada pekerja asing. Yang lebih membimbangkan ialah tarikan tersebut telah menyebabkan berlakunya peningkatan terhadap jumlah pekerja asing tanpa izin di Malaysia. Kemasukan pendatang asing yang banyak dan tidak dikawal akan mewujudkan kesan sehingga mengancam kepentingan negara penerima. Sehubungan dengan itu, kerajaan telah menggubal dan melaksanakan pelbagai pendekatan untuk mengatasi pelbagai masalah yang wujud akibat kemasukan pendatang asing. Pendekatan yang telah diperkenalkan oleh kerajaan berbentuk penggubalan dasar dan peraturan melalui kerjasama agensi yang berkaitan dengan negara pengeksport serta kerjasama ASEAN. MASALAH PATI DI MALAYSIA Migrasi merupakan suatu proses dinamik yang berkaitan dengan liberalisasi ekonomi pasaran, penawaran buruh asing dan dasar migrasi yang tidak konsisten terutama oleh negara penerima. Keadaan ini telah mengakibatkan situasi migrasi yang tidak dapat dikawal dan hal ini telah menjadi lebih buruk dengan kedatangan pendatang asing tanpa izin (PATI) ke sesebuah negara (Shuto, M., 2006). Di Malaysia, kemasukan pendatang asing yang tidak dikawal dan berterusan telah menjadi isu yang kritikal untuk ditangani oleh kerajaan. Sejak beberapa tahun lalu, jumlah pendatang asing yang bekerja telah dianggarkan seramai 2.3 juta orang atau 23 peratus daripada pekerja yang ada di Malaysia. Daripada jumlah tersebut dianggarkan hampir separuh daripadanya merupakan PATI yang telah menggunakan pelbagai saluran untuk masuk ke Malaysia. Jumlah kemasukan yang banyak ini bertujuan memenuhi keperluan tenaga buruh dalam sektor tertentu seperti perladangan, pembinaan, perkhidmatan dan pembuatan. Kebanyakan pendatang asing yang bekerja di Malaysia terdiri daripada pekerja separa mahir dan tidak mahir. Mereka datang dari negara yang mengalami lebihan penawaran buruh 176 KANUN [DISEMBER 2014] seperti Indonesia, Filipina, Bangladesh, Vietnam dan Kemboja (Lin Mei, 2006; Ramasamy, 2004 dan Weiner, 1990). Oleh sebab perkembangan ekonomi dan aktiviti pembangunan yang berkembang pesat di Malaysia, permintaan terhadap tenaga buruh juga meningkat dan keadaan ini telah mengubah struktur pasaran tenaga buruh secara signifikan. Perkaitan antara aspek pembangunan di sesebuah negara dengan proses migrasi menjadi sesuatu yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Menurut Appleyard (1989) perubahan pengaliran migrasi bergantung pada struktur ekonomi sesebuah negara. Dasar migrasi bagi kedua-dua negara penerima dan penghantar, dan jumlah serta komposisi migrasi yang wujud memberikan impak kepada tahap pembangunan sosioekonomi. Oleh itu, permintaan tenaga kerja meningkat. Peningkatan ini bergantung pada perkembangan ekonomi berdasarkan rancangan pembangunan nasional yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan di negara penerima. Perkembangan ekonomi Malaysia pesat terutama antara tahun 1970- an hingga 1990-an. Transisi ekonomi daripada pertanian kepada industri telah berlaku. Pada tempoh tersebut ekonomi Malaysia menunjukkan perkembangan yang memberangsangkan dengan kadar purata 6.7 peratus setahun. Dalam tempoh antara tahun 1991 hingga 1995 perkembangan ekonomi Malaysia pada paras 8.4 peratus, iaitu lebih tinggi daripada sasaran yang ditetapkan oleh negara, iaitu 7.0 peratus. Perkembangan ini mengakibatkan kemasukan pekerja asing yang pada asalnya dihadkan untuk sektor pembinaan dan pertanian telah merebak ke sektor lain seperti pembuatan dan perkhidmatan. Sesetengah sektor seperti restoran, hotel, pembantu rumah, pembantu jualan dan pekerja keselamatan juga telah dikuasai oleh pekerja asing, yang sepatutnya dapat diisi oleh pekerja tempatan (AHM Zehadul et al., 1999:27). Namun begitu, kegawatan ekonomi yang berlaku pada 1999 telah menyebabkan tangkapan terhadap PATI telah meningkat kepada 12 372 daripada 8499 pada tahun 1998. Peningkatan PATI pada tempoh tersebut menunjukkan langkah yang lebih tegas diambil oleh kerajaan dengan mengenakan peraturan yang ketat bagi pengambilan pekerja asing. Kemasukan pendatang asing terutama secara tidak sah telah mengundang pelbagai masalah yang mengancam kesejahteraan dan kepentingan awam. Mereka terlibat dalam aktiviti jenayah seperti merompak, membunuh, meragut, pecah rumah, penyeludupan, dan pengedaran dadah. Kementerian Dalam Negeri pernah mengumumkan bahawa seramai 14 809 daripada 37 446 banduan di Malaysia merupakan pendatang asing yang kebanyakannya terdiri daripada PATI.

Badarulzaman***** Labour Law, School of Law Universiti Utara Malaysia UUM-COLGIS, 06010 UUM Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia Abstract Migrant workers are often discriminated in almost every aspect of life. Using doctrinal research methodology, this article discusses direct and perceptive discrimination against them. This article concludes that physical discriminations are mostly happened because ineffective enforcement of the law, abuse of powers and human-trafficking problem. Besides, perceptive discrimination happened due to the claim that migrant workers contribute to the crimes hike in Malaysia whereas it is unsupported based on statistic given by The Royal Malaysian Police. Key words: discrimination, migrant workers, crime rate. Intisari Diskriminasi terhadap pekerja migran di Malaysia berlaku hampir dalam setiap aspek kehidupan mereka. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui metode penelitian doktrinal dan membicarakan mengenai diskriminasi secara langsung (fisik) dan diskriminasi berdasar persepsi terhadap golongan migran. Kesimpulannya adalah diskriminasi secara langsung terjadi karena ketidakefektifan undang-undang, relasi kuasa dan perdagangan manusia. Sedangkan diskriminasi berdasar persepsi terjadi karena adanya klaim bahwa pekerja migran menyebabkan peningkatan jinayah padahal hal ini tidak didukung oleh data dari Royal Malaysian Police.

In 1980, of a population of over 13 million, 0.49 per cent were non- citizens. In 2010, the number of non-citizens increased to 2.3 million, making up 8.3 per cent of a total population of 28.4 million. The majority is low skill workers, both legal and irregular. There are also other groups comprising expatriates, international students, participants of the ‘Malaysia My Second Home’ programme, and asylum seekers/refugees whose numbers are relatively small. The inflows which contribute significantly to economic development have their attendant problems. This paper takes a comprehensive view of all the major inflows, taking a cue from state policy towards them. The inflows are divided into two categories: welcome and problematic inflows. It then outlines how each inflow emerged and expanded, state responses towards them and discusses related issues and challenges. All categories of migrants have both positive and negative impacts, but the low skill workers (including asylum seekers and refugees) are the most challenging especially in relation to the economy, border security, and internal order. The paper concludes with a discussion on the urgent need to review the foreign worker policy including Malaysia’s stand on asylum seekers/refugees to address the problems related to migrants. Key words: Asylum seekers and refugees, expatriates, foreign workers, international students, irregular migrants JEL classification: F22, F24, J15, J23, J38 1.

  • The Social Media Election in Malaysia: the 13Th General Election in 2013
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 32, Supp. 2, 2014, 123–147 THE SOCIAL MEDIA ELECTION IN MALAYSIA: THE 13TH GENERAL ELECTION IN 2013 Mohd Azizuddin Mohd Sani School of International Studies, Universiti Utara Malaysia, 06010 Sintok, Kedah, Malaysia Email: [email protected] The 13th General Election (GE13) of 2013 was historic because the Barisan Nasional (BN) won with a slightly reduced majority compared to the last general election in 2008 and surprisingly lost the popular votes to the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for the first time since 1969. There was a huge swing from the urban and suburban constituencies toward supporting the PR. One of the major contributors to the result was the social media which was once again dominated by the PR, similar to what happened in 2008. Social media is trendy, cheap and easy to access especially for youths who made up half of the voters totalling 13.3 million. Online channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, news portals and blogs are popular and became the avenues for political parties from both BN and PR alike for campaigning and tools for the leaders and candidates to meet the electorates in respective constituencies. The impact was enormous for PR parties which were able to utilise it to their advantages, letting the 2013 general election become competitive and strengthening the democratic process in Malaysia. Thus, this article studies the correlation between the phenomena of social media and democracy. It then explores the conditions and effects of social media in Malaysia. Finally, this article analyses thoroughly the impact of social media in the GE13.

Carruthers* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • After a tumultuous state election, Sabah is now the epicenter of an ongoing “Third Wave” of COVID-19 infections that has swept across Malaysia. • Election campaigning and clandestine cross-border movement have been causally linked by different government actors to this Third Wave, prompting the government to tighten movement control orders and migrant surveillance in Sabah. • As a recent report by the Sovereign Migrant Workers Coalition makes clear, migrant detention practices must be reformulated in response to evolving administrative, epidemiological, and ethical challenges. • Policymakers must grasp that (i) movement control, (ii) migrant care, and (iii) public health are interconnected. * Guest writer, Andrew M.
