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?
Its president Omar Osman said the congress and the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) would organise a gathering at the Sungai Besi toll plaza on Sunday to show displeasure against price increases.
<p>"Cuepacs will also distribute 30,000 pamphlets containing the list of goods that should be boycotted," he told reporters here today.</p>
<p>Omar said if everyone gave their cooperation, the initiative would be effective
in making traders realise the power wielded by consumers.</p>
<p>He said such a boycott had been done before and proven successful.</p>
<p>The campaign, he said, would continue until the end of the festive season and
that it would not be confined to consumers in the Klang Valley but nationwide.</p>
<p>Omar also urged the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to step up
monitoring activities to ensure traders did not increase prices.</p>
