Bangladeshi Workers Treated Like Slaves

Charles Santiago, Former MP Klang & Human Rights Defender

Bangladeshi Workers Treated Like Slaves

Charles Santiago, who’s a human rights defender and the former Klang MP for DAP, recently wrote a four-parter on Malaysiakini detailing modern-day slavery, forced labour, and abuse perpetrated against a group of migrant workers from Bangladesh. On today’s show, we go through the series of heartbreaking events experienced by these workers and also discuss what needs to be done so that this doesn’t happen again.
