‘Let them work’
The government’s recent announcement to allow international students who graduate from universities in Malaysia to remain in the country for a year for the purpose of travelling or working part-time is a step in right direction.

However, the special pass comes with some stringent conditions: it will only be made available to citizens from 23 low-risk and high-income countries, including Singapore, Australia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States; it will only allow part-time work in permitted job sectors, meaning that it cannot be compared with the post-study work visas offered in the UK, Australia, Canada, and other established destinations for international students; and there is the need for a “personal bond” with a Malaysian sponsor who earns an income of at least RM1,500 and this is likely to deter prospective applicants.
