The government also convicted significantly more labour traffickers than in the prior year, increased funding for victim shelters, and facilitated more freedom of movement passes for victims receiving services in government and NGO-run shelters.“The report also outlines 16 improvement recommendations and action plans that Malaysia can implement for the next evaluation year, from April 1, 2024 until March 31, 2025,” according to KDN.
“Three main focuses have been planned to guide the implementation of the country’s efforts, namely enhancing inter-agency cooperation, intensifying efforts to identify and protect victims, and improving prosecution processes,” it said. “This commitment is hoped to yield significant initiatives based on the pillars of law, enforcement, protection and prevention across the functions of stakeholders, which can enhance efforts to combat human trafficking crimes in Malaysia,” the statement said. ― Bernama
