Deepak Adhikari of Mijure VDC-2 in Kaski has been selling sweat in Malaysia. The low pay apart, the living condition for this blue-collar worker is not decent. He feels suffocation in sharing the room with 15 other migrant workers in what he describes no less than an ‘open jail’.
Ashok Kumar of Bhedpu-4 in Kailali is also toiling in foreign shore as a security guard for the last two years. Exacerbated by distance from the loved one and children back home, he is equally frustrated by poorly paid menial job that keeps him on his toe for around 12 hours a day in 33 degree Celsius.
Similarly, Ram Bahadur Tamang’s three year contract is due to expire in few months. Originally from Dharan Sub-Metropolitan City-22 in Sunsari, Tamang’s bittersweet time in his menial job and level of discomfort at residence having to share a single room with over two dozen of people sufficiently speaks volume about the Nepali migrant workers’ deplorable working and housing condition.
Tamang drew the attention of his employer towards providing the basics for accommodation as promised during his induction into the job but to no avail. Instead, the employer derogatorily questioned Tamang, “Why do you barbarians need the beddings?”The situation of the migrant workers from Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Myanmar in Malaysia is more or less the same like the Nepalis, shared migrant worker Adhikari grieving of insecurity from the looters and suffering at the hand of some corrupted Malaysian police. Malaysia is one of the popular labor destinations in Southeast Asia.
