Foreign missions can do more to protect migrant workers' rights, says Suhakam

KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign missions to Malaysia should do better in protecting their countrymen's migrant worker rights here, says the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam).

"The workers are often left to fend for themselves, to find their own lawyers, while battling bureaucracy and also to stay in the country to make claims against their employers," Suhakam commissioner Ragunath Kesavan said.
