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?
MTUC 4th Outreach Program
MTUC is Everywhere – For The Workers! That is the expression that inspired and motivated each Task Force member to continue MTUC’s 4th Outreach Program 2019 today. Among the members were Bro Rudy, CEUPM Secretary General, Bro Salleh, EIEUSR Executive Secretary, Bro Fitri, Former AIROD Secretary and Bro Zul Thye, MTUC Project Coordinator.
The location of the program this time around was a bit different from our previous locations, as we believe this is one way MTUC can be there for all workers. We have successfully distributed nearly 250 flyers in this Borneo Market where the average visitor comes from either Sabah or Sarawak. In addition, we had the opportunity to meet and explain the role of MTUC to some foreign workers.
We believe and are more confident in continuing the program in more places of interest such as supermarkets, wet markets, bus terminals and other places, as this program has attracted many visitors from the working class who have frequently asked us about workers’ rights and work-related, legal rights.
The next program is planned to be held in the north of the country in the near future. May all our efforts to introduce MTUC in all walks of life and fight for the plight of workers in Malaysia be made easier.
