No forced labour practices found at Sime Darby plantations, Saravanan tells Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: There were no forced labour practices found at Sime Darby Plantations Bhd but the firm did fail to report accidents involving its foreign workers within 10 days as stipulated by the law, says Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.

The Human Resources Minister said the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency had earlier barred products from the palm oil producer, citing suspicion of forced labour practices in the oil palm industry.
