‘Country’s higher TIP ranking brings relief to employers’

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s elevation to Tier 2 Watch List in the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report brings relief to employers and will have positive effects on the economy.

Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said restrictions on exports faced especially by the oil palm plantation and the rubber glove industry would be eased as the country will no longer be seen as one that practises forced labour.
