MP SPEAKS | It’s karma: just like you reap what you sow, we are facing the consequences of abusing migrant workers for decades.
A significant contributor to the Covid-19 infections is the workplace and worker dormitory clusters.
In the last few months, Malaysians were fed with daily images of migrant workers living in slavery-like conditions.
What was certain in worker dormitories was that physical distancing was a luxury.
Employers greed and disregard for laws together with poor government enforcement have turned the workplaces into toxic and super spreader zones.
KUALA LUMPUR: Industries must play their role to tighten existing standard operating procedures (SOPs) at the workplace and living quarters of employees as they could not withstand another full lockdown, says the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).
The government appreciates the initiative taken by Top Glove Corp Bhd in offering over 9,000 job opportunities for the locals in the country, but it also reminded the company to also emphasise the safety and well-being of its workers, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
