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?
HUMAN Resources Minister M. Kula Segaran should not plead ignorance to reports of Putrajaya agreeing to bring in up to 150,000 Pakistan nationals to work as security guards, said Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC).
MTUC secretary-general J. Solomon said the minister should verify news reports on the matter instead of saying such a decision could have been taken by the Home Ministry.
