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?
NUBE lodged a police report against HSBC for committing unlawful action of retaining overnight, the passports of foreign workers which are brought in by boxes by a premier account holder for the purpose of opening new accounts for such workers.
This transaction is systematically done in the evenings to evade the detection of this irregularity by the workers.
This is another example of HSBC’s dishonest and unlawful business engagements and many more are yet to be disclosed by the NUBE for the attention of the authorities for necessary action.
It will be interesting to know that HSBC cannot be an exemption from complying with the Malaysian Laws based on the criminal belief of the previous government that “CASH IS KING”!
