BUKIT MERTAJAM: The government will not hesitate to take action against any factory that does not comply with the regulations on workers’ accommodations, says Deputy Human Resources Minister Awang Hashim.

He said employers were found to have failed to comply with the standard operating procedure involving employee accommodations, including placing too many workers in a room.
