Her work is not a favour

THE Shah Alam High court yesterday again deferred its decision on the question of whether a migrant worker without a valid work visa has the right to claim unpaid wages after she had been employed for more than four years.

This ruling relates to a 2018 appeal by “Nona” (a pseudonym), a domestic worker from Indonesia who, with assistance from Tenaganita, sought to exercise the right to make a claim against her Malaysian employer at Port Klang Labour Office in 2017.
