Ambassador Brian McFeeters talking to Penang-based reporters as part of a virtual tour to the state. He earlier met CM Chow Kon Yeow.

He said that while Malaysia remains an attractive trade and investment destination for the US, with an English speaking population, highly educated workforce and great logistics, the issue was predictability. Asked if the predictability problem was related to the current political environment, he said that was not so.

“Maybe on a quarterly basis, to hear what the government has planned … if they are going to make new regulations on health, medical devices …” He said there was not much being done to protect trafficked and forced labour victims, despite having laws to do so. He said the government should ensure that people should not pay to get into the country through debt bondage.

“If there is a domestic servant who comes into Malaysia and he or she has their passport locked up, with no days off in six months, that is trafficking. People say that is ‘my private situation’, that is part of the abuse that needs to be controlled,” he said.Meanwhile, McFeeters said the US was “disturbed” over China’s aggressive behaviour in the South China Sea, laying claims on islands in the sea unilaterally, despite legal proceedings in 2016 which had decided that the claims had no basis.
