Pact soon with Malaysia in interest of Indian workers
Pti, New Delhi
An accord for protection of interests of Indian workers in Malaysia is expected to be signed soon between the two countries in the wake of complaints of their exploitation and harassment.Asserting that his country will not tolerate exploitation of Indian workers, visiting Malaysian Foreign Minister Dato Seri Syed Hamid Albar said here Thursday that most of the issues have already been resolved on signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). "Negotiations are proceeding well. We have exchanged documents and I hope it (MoU) can be finalised soon," Albar told a select group of Journalists here. Malaysia hosts around 138,000 Indian workers and several of them have complained about exploitation mainly by unscrupulous agents and harassment by local employers. Albar said though the problem of exploitation did not relate to Malaysia, his government wanted the problems of the Indian workers resolved.
