I am going to get the sticker. However, I just don't think it is right or just. I don't think it is legal or even constitutional for me to have to take a "permission" from the government to go abroad, for work or whatever. It is downright fascist and a gross violation of my human rights. I would even oppose any government steps to keep a "detailed record" of me just cause I am going abroad to work. I know, and everybody knows, that the Nepal government is basically incapable of doing anything for me in a foreign country vis-a-vis employment, regardless of whether I am fired without cause/compensation or if I happen to lose a limb or two (or more!) in the course of my work. I doubt their willingness and/or ability to fight a court battle for me. I don't know if the government promises to "look after me" in a foreign country, but even if it does, we all know it is an empty promise. Remittance sustains the Nepali economy, but bureaucratic hassles like these are a burden on the workers and NOT on the employers or the man-power companies! I just cannot see how the workers are protected by getting a sticker in the back of their passports. I understand the government wants it's share in the booming remittance sector. But they've got to come up with a better and constitutional way to insert their finger in the pie. The Nepal government does not own me, I am not it's slave. I, along with the rest of the people, own the government. I am going abroad to work, not to kill or maim, and I have not killed or maimed to go abroad either. I have not broken any laws. Just why do I need to ask the government to please let me go work?
