The main pillar to execute and complete construction project is labour resources. Without optimal labour utilization, stages of construction project may be affected. Nevertheless, construction industry in Malaysia has been in a serious labour market predicament whereby local labours are unable to fulfil the construction industry’s labour market demand. In consequence, a great number of foreign labours are recruited to join the workforce. Nearly, 70–80% of the construction labours in Malaysia are foreigners. The Malaysian construction industry has been reliant on low-skilled foreign workers for a long-time. This study is to review the circumstance of foreign workers’ employment at construction industry in Malaysia. The findings show that foreign workers occupy the workforce in Malaysia due to the unwillingness of the locals to join the workforce. Foreign workers are beneficial to the Malaysian construction industry as the low wages paid to them and their persistency. However, social, economic, political, and crime problems arise because of the foreign workers’ employment.
