NILAI, April 10 — The Department of Labour Peninsular Malaysia raided an illegal premise that failed to adhere to the Minimum Standards of Housing, Accommodation and Employee Facilities Act 1990 [Act 446] and rescued 226 foreign workers in Bandar Baru Nilai here today.
He said they were placed temporarily at the transit accommodation premise about 40 days ago and some of them have not yet found work as promised. “We noticed they were three levels with each floor, approximately 1,800 square feet, accommodating over 60 individuals. This is a violation of the law and dangerous. If there happens to be a fire and so on, what would be their fate?” he told reporters after the raid.
Following the raid, Sivakumar said four investigation papers were opened in accordance with Section 24D of Act 446 against four employers involved in the case.
