| description | Foreign nationals in Malaysia come from all corners of the
world. They are here as migrant labour, highly skilled and professional
migrants (expatriates), illegal migrants, refugees, asylum-seekers (Burmese
asylum seekers with UNHCR card), forced migrants (human trafficking
victims), students, and tourists. The influx of foreign nationals residing in
Malaysia coincides with greater number of crime news featuring foreign
nationals. This study explores the social construction of foreign nationals
as the ‘other’ in the local crime news published by Malaysian newspapers.
94 news headlines and lead sentences of local crime news involving
foreign nationals were identified and analysed for this study. Findings
suggest that Malaysian newspapers magnify foreign nationals’ migration
status in each crime news. |
