Malaysia is one of Asia's biggest employers of foreign labour. But recently, cases of deaths, abuse and forced labour have come to light. What is going on? Who is protecting these migrant workers?
PUTRAJAYA’S call for businesses to automate during the coronavirus crisis is “irresponsible” and “ill-timed”, said the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC), as it will worsen unemployment.
MTUC secretary-general J. Solomon slammed such a call in the wake of thousands of workers suffering pay cuts and forced to take unpaid leave while thousands more risk losing their jobs because of the economic impact of the coronavirus.
