Why staronline is not posting this news?

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Someone better sue that company! The minority groups in this country are unfortunately often times marginalised, bullied and treated inhumanely

DatukSaravanan You hv allowed companies to hire foreign workers, paying peanuts to them, holding their passports which is against human rights, neglect their health and safety, you conduct no regulations. You are responsible for this and labour exploitation!

Such a cowardly reply. If you can't charge the company solely because the immigrant didn't sign a contract with the company, then charge the company on other grounds. How about employing others without a contract? How about employing illegal immigrants? How could this be justice?

Reveal the name of the employer

Eh. Didn't just ask Immigration to raid and deport them?

Can you'll put the employer behind bar for his act, he need to be punish and treated as a criminal.

A very irresponsible company n appropriate action should be taken so as to deter others from committing the same.

Difficult to act? Hiring undocumented immigrant alone is a bloody crime, let alone not paying them is called slavery! Surely our Constitution do not condone slavery. How come this gov and enforcement officers are so bloody lame. Living in their own ignorant bubble.

Can we name the company? Bunch of pukima

Black list the company no use. He this company cannot they can use another company to hire.

That is outrageous. !

The company should be charged in court and made to paid 10x the owed wages to the deceased’s family
