Suhakam commissioner wants task force to probe migrant quota fraud

In the face of a migrant trafficking crisis with implications of official complicity, Suhakam commissioner Ragunath Kesavan has urged the government to set up a high-level task force to investigate the scandal.

He said allegations that fake contracts were used to get migrant worker import quotas as reported in Malaysiakini’s exposé this week is a clear indication that government officers were complicit in the fraud.
