Fong Chan Onn: Employers Who Mistreat Foreign Workers Will Be Penalised. Don't Just Talk, DO It
Employers responsible for mistreating Bangladeshi workers will not be let off the hook. Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn said he had instructed Manpower Department officials to investigate complaints about alleged mistreatment of Bangladeshi workers.
He said if the complaints were legitimate, the employers would be brought to court and blacklisted from hiring foreign workers.
"I have asked the Manpower Department officials to have a look at the complaints. If it is true that there are employers who recruited the foreign workers but did not pay the due salaries, we will not compromise with them. They will be penalised. We will bring them to court," he told a press conference on Tuesday.
"I am disappointed because the situation portrays a negative image of the country," he said, adding that the employers could be charged under the Employment Act.
Dr Fong was asked to comment about 770 disgruntled Bangladeshi workers who arrived in Malaysia between January and April, claiming that they were promised by four textile factory proprietors buy cilais generic cialis cialis buy cheap cialis
