GEORGE TOWN: A group of security guards lodged a complaint with the state Labour Department claiming that they were forced to work long stretches without any days off by their employer.

Group spokesman Muhammad Fazly Md Ibrahim, 40, said he had personally worked four months in a row without a day off, and if any one of them needed a day off, they had to find someone to cover for them.
