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 needs to immediately conduct a nationwide check on workplaces and dormitories of foreign workers to mitigate fresh Covid-19 clusters, said the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) today.
Its secretary-general J. Solomon said inspections by the Labour Department are crucial to eliminate the many hygiene and safety issues that affect migrant workers over the last decade.
