Foreign workers deserve a holiday

I SUGGEST that Malaysia has a public holiday dedicated to foreign workers to honour their immense contribution to our life and national development.

There is no facet of our lives that is not touched by foreign workers, many of whom are here not because they wanted to but because they had to so that they could earn a living and take care of their family in their country.

We must have a public holiday to honour their contribution. My suggestion is that on this proposed public holiday, the foreign workers are given a day off while it is a normal working day for the rest of us.

This will go a long way to show that Malaysia can lead the way in showing appreciation to our foreign workers.
