COMMENT | Contract fraud: Heads must roll, go after insidious agents

COMMENT | I read with shock and horror the Malaysiakini exposé at the scale of the contract fraud involving unsuspecting migrant workers and even resulting in the deaths of two, on Malaysian soil that is highly suspicious.

Migrant workers have been arriving at our shores up to our doorsteps in the form of domestic helpers, plantation industries, construction workers, in the food and beverage industry, security and other fields from Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries - and specific ones like tailoring from Punjab and goldsmiths from India.

Of course, we have the “other” migrant workers in the form of expatriates who are the highly skilled, highly paid professionals and the other group - mostly unskilled or semi-skilled.

This seems to be one of the core problems...
