We should aim for the top tier


IT IS easy to see why there was some excitement last week when Malaysia moved up to Tier 2 in the US State Department’s 2017 Trafficking in Persons (TiP) Report.

The previous time we had that ranking was 2005. In between, we were stuck on the Tier 2 Watch List, except for the three years (2007, 2009 and 2014) when we dropped to Tier 3, which is the bottom category.
