They say the government has failed to protect foreign workers and that migrants are not always to blame for lacking the necessary documentation. FMTNews IsmailSabri
Senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob says it is wrong for those who enter the country illegally to continue staying there without the necessary documentation.
Adding that there were many reports of forced labour by NGOs in Malaysia as well as the global community, he said Ismail’s comments showed that the government was not being honest with the public.“Why hasn’t he contacted any of the migrant rights NGOs to seek solutions or to better understand the issue? It clearly shows Malaysia is incapable of using the ‘whole of government approach’ in tackling the issue,” he told FMT.
“I do not know of any country that allows undocumented people to remain,” he said, adding that those who were not caught might spread the virus. She also said Putrajaya should get Malaysians to perform the jobs of migrant workers if it had such a low opinion of the migrant community. “Why blame the migrants for being undocumented?” she said, adding that the number of undocumented migrants in the country reflected the government’s inefficiency in protecting its borders.
