Dear Malaysian Ministry of Home Affairs,

What is the value of a human person?

In the first place, how do you define personhood?

Or have you ever even attempted to define that which constitutes personhood that you could even so much as consider emerging with an idea like this?

Have you seen how many foreign workers are (mis)treated by their employers (your local citizens)? It's bad enough that their treatment of a foreign human life betrays their attitudes towards the worth of the human person. And now, you're affirming that they should do worse.

Think.

If what I've read is true, as a Malaysian citizen, today I'm quite speechless. And as a citizen of the world, I hang down my head in shame.
