This is another photo of our shopping mall building under construction in Kuching City.You can see several construction workers in the warm February sun.Many construction workers are migrant construction labour from Indonesia.They are hard working people.
I am not a journalist ,but just a simple man with camera in Kuching and Kota Samarahan.Let say I am a citizen journalist -that's I wanted to try.But I am not a good writer.Anyway lets my photo shot say a words.
Most of the time I do a candid shot here but sometime I am not.I start by conversation with the people I wanted to shoot ,people I don't know and ask permission for a photo shoot.Of course,generally their are not comfortable having their photo published but I have to explain politely to them.

2010/01/05
PUTRAJAYA: For one month beginning today, the immigration department will educate employers nationwide that it is an offence to deploy foreign workers as frontliners.
Those who fail to cooperate will face the wrath of the law, said department director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman.
He said the education process would include providing brochures, dialogue sessions with employers and meetings with organisations involved.
Speaking to reporters here today, he said employing foreigners as frontliners was an offence under the Immigration Regulations 1963, adding that the department had not approved any request to put foreign workers as frontliners, except for security services.
Meanwhile, Abdul Rahman said the department would not hesitate to act against employers who reaped benefits by avoiding higher levies when hiring foreigners to work.
"This will only incur losses to the government," he said. - BERNAMA
