Abstract: Examines Malaysia's experience in curbing irregular migration. It traces the country's shifting policies on irregular migration as it moved from relatively "soft" policies to tougher sanctions and controls. It proceeds to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies in terms of controlling irregular migration and sustainability. It speculates and makes recommendations on future policy.
