Don't use same brush for all on human rights standards in palm oil industry, says Fadillah

Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof

KUALA LUMPUR: Those who champion international human rights standards in Malaysian palm oil plantations should not brush all countries with the same brush and label Malaysia as a high-risk country, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

The Plantations and Commodities Minister said that standards can vary from country to country due to the culture and the traditional way of doing things, which may not be regarded as going against human rights norms by international standards.
