Sime Plantation wants to engage on ban issues

Sime Darby Oils managing director Mohd Haris Mohd Arshad

KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Plantation Bhd (SDP), which has sternly rebuffed allegations by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on forced labour in its production process, is frustrated that there are no signs of communication about the investigation evidence in the past six months.

In an interview with BFM 89.9, Sime Darby Oils managing director Mohd Haris Mohd Arshad snubbed the allegations on forced labour in its operations, saying it is “absolutely false” as the group has robust processes and strict business conducts in place to protect workers rights.
