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?
BELIEVING that the national poverty rate is a mere 0.4% is simply “wishful thinking”, said the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC), agreeing with a United Nations report on the issue.
“MTUC, once again, calls on the government to take the matter of poverty seriously,” said secretary-general J. Solomon in a statement.
