Indonesian envoy lauds court decision on undocumented workers' claims
Indonesian ambassador to Malaysia has lauded the Court of Appeal's decision to allow undocumented migrant workers to take their claims to the Labour Department despite their immigration status, saying it is significant progress toward ending forced labour in the country.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, Hermono said the embassy would not need to waste any time in filing unpaid wage claims at the Labour Department on behalf of hundreds of its undocumented workers.
