‘Rank source countries too’

Have a good journey: Dr Ahmad Zahid having a chat with Vietnam’s ambassador Pham Cao Phong, who will be leaving his post next month, at the Parliament building.

SOURCE countries for human trafficking syndicates should also be properly ranked on the United States’ Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Watch List, and not just “destination” countries like Malaysia.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who said this, lamented that Malaysia was on the Tier 2 Watch List of the report despite all its efforts to combat human trafficking.
