CAP calls on gov't to also provide financial aid for the group under stimulus package, although they are not citizens.

| Governments all over the world have made the decision to put their countries in some form of lockdown as a step to battle Covid-19. While obviously necessary, the lockdowns have left a segment of these countries’ population in a very vulnerable situation.

It was only recently that the government allowed the NGOs that were stopped from their usual distribution of aid to resume their work, if they follow the standard operating procedure that has been set out. However, most of these NGOs already have their predetermined target groups that need their aid, such as the handicapped, old folks, and more. It is not feasible for these NGOs to look out for all the foreign labourers who are in dire need on top of the people they usually help.

Still the government should do more to aid foreign labourers. When asked about the fate of refugees the defense minister said that “the government won’t allow citizens local or foreign to go hungry”. It is vital that the government also take the initiative to fund the aid efforts for foreign labourers. Foreign labourers are not considered citizens, but we must remember that even if they are not, they are here in Malaysia doing jobs that many locals would not do themselves.
