Malaysia will strive to reach Tier 1 in Trafficking In Persons report, says Saifuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: Despite Malaysia being placed in Tier 2 of the United States State Department Trafficking In Persons (TIP) 2024 report, the Home Ministry will continue to make improvements in curbing human trafficking and forced labour, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

"We welcome the upgrade to Tier 2 (from Tier-2 Watch List last year), but more work must be done. We are committed to improving and achieving Tier 1 (in the TIP report)," he told reporters after attending the closing ceremony for the Retired Senior Police Officers Association of Malaysia's annual general meeting on Tuesday (June 25).
