US-Malaysia panel on forced labour a step in the right direction, says MEF

PETALING JAYA: The working committee established between the Malaysian government and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to address issues related to forced labour is a step in the right direction, says the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).

MEF president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said the committee could help resolve outstanding withhold release orders (WRO) imposed on some Malaysian exporters to the United States.
