COMMENT | Double standards in the way M'sians treat migrants

COMMENT | I have previously sought to discern what it means to be a Malaysian and concluded that it is about what we can do to serve or contribute to the nation.

However, what about non-citizens who also contribute to the national economy? How do we treat them?

Several whites, Koreans, and Japanese have achieved success in Malaysia as social media content creators or professionals in the workforce.

These foreign content creators are popular among the locals - especially if they speak Malay well. Many of us feel proud when we hear them speaking Malay.

They receive tremendous support for their social media content and when they are seen in public places, they are treated like celebrities.
