All this after a recruitment process that could take up to half a year and cost the workers around RM3,500 in fees that often land them in debt and at risk of indentured service.“Based on our findings, sometimes they come here, and then it’s a different job than what was stated in the contract,” said Sheril A. Bustaman, project manager of the South-South Migration for Development and Equality Hub funded by UK Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund .
“They tell them the salary, the job scope, and they will facilitate the process of them coming to work,” “When they first get here, they don’t know the language, it’s very isolating because their fellow dormmates who are also Nepali work different hours, so you spend a lot of time alone.
