'Pengerang a landmark case for workers' right to be paid'

The case of migrant workers who were stranded and jobless in Pengerang, Johor is a landmark one as it established that the workers had the right to be paid, whether they work or not.

Human Resources Minister Steven Sim told a press conference in Menara Perkeso, Putrajaya today that there should no longer be any issues of forced labour, in which workers are unpaid for their work.
