In Kuala Lumpur cranes stretch outward among the gleaming towers in a perpetual construction boom powered by foreign investment.The streets are spotless and well policed, the water is clean, and the politics are relatively stable. Consumers around the world benefit from products like mobile devices, circuit boards, and LED screens.
At the heart of this economic success are migrant workers. From Bangladesh, Nepal, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India, they arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport by the papers in hand, hoping for a better life. Estimates of the number of foreign workers in Malaysia vary widely, from the government's count of almost 1.8 million to perhaps twice as many, which would amount to a quarter of the country's workforce. Migrant-worker advocates estimate one-third of those workers are undocumented. Many foreign workers believe "Malaysia is the land of milk and honey," said Joseph Paul Maliamauv, of Tenaganita, a workers'-rights organization, when I met him at the group's office in Petaling Jaya, a suburb on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. "They come out there, and think the streets are paved with gold."
But upon arrival, migrants find this paradise doesn't extend to them. Malaysia is "a booming economy and one of the most developed economies, multicultural and multinational, with a huge amount of foreign investment," said David Welsh of the Solidarity Center, an affiliate of the labor group AFL-CIO, when I met him in Kuala Lumpur."But in a region plagued with human-fights abuses and labor abuses, Malaysia is in many ways transparently the regional leader."
Malaysia provides a window:a flow of humans that shapes lives, creates the world's things, and is built on the availability of a massive, inexpensive, and flexible labor supply. In Malaysia, it's possible to see what maintains that flow: the recruitment strategies that bring workers to factories, the government policies that are so ineffective at protecting workers, the struggle to improve working conditions up and down supply chains, and the global political and economic realities that sustain the demand for cheap work.
In 2014, the watchdog organization Verite released a study on migrant workers in the electronics sector in Malaysia. Among a sample of more than 400 foreign electronics workers, at least 32 percent were, by Verite's definition, forced to work against their will. According to the report, "these results suggest that forced labor is present in the Malaysian electronics industry in more than isolated incidents, and can indeed be characterized as widespread."
