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. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Grant Details: | ARC/DP0666015 | Source of Publication: | Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Malaysia, p. 214-225 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | London, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780415816731 9781315756240 |
