(W.Guniee, 2005) For instance, normally there were three or four races working together in the organisation in Malaysia, such as Chinese, Malay, India, Iban and Kadazan. Nowadays there were many large or small medium size of organization employed foreign employees especially those construction organizations will take a lot of Indonesian as construction’s worker.
