On Wednesday, Home Minister Datuk Azmi Khalid talked to reporters at his office after attending the Cabinet meeting. He said unoccupied low-cost houses and buildings would be used to house illegal workers detained after the Feb 28 amnesty deadline.Quote:
“To address security concerns, we will fence up these premises to safeguard the interest of the public.” […]
Acknowledging that this move might raise concerns among the public over security, Azmi said:
“If they are concerned, then they must help to ensure that illegal immigrants take up the government’s amnesty offer and leave before Feb 28.” […]
I shared this excerpt among my peers and ask them one very simple question.
Question:
“How would you actually help?”
Feedback:
a) “sila lah balik ke rumah anda, silakan.”
b) “tolong jangan rompak saya, saya akan bagi kamu duit saya, tapi kamu mesti janji balik dalam seminggu.”
c) “mau tinggal di rumah saya sementara menunggu?”
d) “how can i help aa? do i chase them with my car or wat?”
What else can I say? :-))
Thanks, I was enlighted!

You guys are so kind.
I’m wondering what would I do also, but definitely won’t be as polite and helpful as you guys.
