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?
Employers taking advantage of govt leniency, says MTUC
PUTRAJAYA’S leniency towards employers has opened the floodgates for layoffs and wage cuts, said the Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC), as the country hunkers down for an extended movement-control order (MCO).
MTUC said it has been inundated with phone calls every day since the Perikatan Nasional administration decided on April 6 to allow employers to review employment contracts to cut workers’ pay.
