An official announcement by Malaysia's government that it will grant an amnesty to illegal migrants and offer those who wish to stay a chance to legalize their status has been a boon to those in the business of helping Burmese workers navigate through the bureaucratic maze.
Although the Malaysian government has yet to finalize the details of its amnesty plan, sources in the country's Burmese community say that brokers are already seeing an increase in demand for their services.
For around 3,000 to 5,000 ringgit (US $995 to $1,650), the brokers help Burmese workers prepare all the necessary paperwork, including documents from the Burmese embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
