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 Datuk
Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn said the government hopes all involved, such as the Malaysian
Trades Union Congress (MTUC) and Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF), can set
aside their differences and agree on the details of how the fund will operate
before it is implemented.
<P>"The MEF should understand that the fund

have flexible labour laws and a fund such as this at the same time have become
successful.</P><P><I>Source: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/nst/Friday/NewsBreak/20070126154216/Article/index_html</I>
