MTUC secretary-general N. Gopal Kishnam says some employers take advantage of foreign workers by not giving them days off and not paying their wages.
The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has blamed the lack of coordination between the Home and Human Resources ministries for the large number of undocumented foreign workers in the country.
Its secretary-general N. Gopal Kishnam described the situation as "the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing".
"The MTUC and other specific national unions have repeatedly highlighted this matter to the authorities but it has fallen on deaf ears,"
