KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — Human rights group Lawyers for Liberty today criticised Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan recent statement that legalising undocumented workers is a “stupid” idea.

He said the manner and treatment that many undocumented migrants suffer in order to get into Malaysia, they should be considered as victims of trafficking. “The fact of the matter is that a large portion of our economic sector is reliant on migrant workers.

Saravanan: 25 recruitment companies from Bangladesh chosen to avoid monopolistic practicesKUALA LUMPUR: The Human Resources Ministry's accreditation of 25 companies to recruit workers from Bangladesh was done to avoid monopolistic practices as well to safeguard the welfare and livelihood of the workers, says its minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan. By choosing this 25 then the monopoly is controlled by this 25 😂😂😂. Reported differently from there. Restricting to 25 companies is already a monopoly. The poor workers are going to be taken for a ride with high fees. Process must be there for the workers to avoid paying anything to the agents. Employers should bear all cost, thus prevent human trafficking.
