Bernama quoted Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali (file pic) as saying yesterday that various measures had been implemented by the government to address the matter.

PETALING JAYA: Issues over incidences of forced labour in the country have already been dealt with, either through government policies or through individual company proactive initiatives.

Thus, it is not accurate or fair for a blanket term to be put on the entire industry if only one or two players are still involved in such issues, said an industry executive in a rubber glove company.
