Abstract
Labour migration has been a significant policy issue in Malaysian history since the late nineteenth century and continues to dominate policy-making, security concerns and migration management. Immigration played a pivotal role in the growth of wage labour and shaped labour practices and regimes in various sectors. Crucially, it led to major demographic changes and transformed Malaysia into an immigrant nation.
