COMMENT | PSM calls on the government of Malaysia to halt the abuse of labour migration into the country. The authorities must take concrete action to address recruitment fraud.

The problem of recruitment fraud which reared its ugly head since late 2022, is a cause of misery for the workers affected, and their plight is an ongoing injustice.

This is further exacerbated by the authorities’ failure to recognise the gravity of the situation and resultant inaction.

The government of Malaysia must reconfirm if the rationale behind its labour policy remains to complement the local workforce and not to make millions for cronies.
