Amid calls to refine proposed citizenship amendments, PM Anwar says govt must honour Rulers' position, will explain to backbenchersUpon arrival in Malaysia, migrant workers are sometimes denied the right to hold a copy of their contract. — Reuters file picKUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — For some Nepali citizens, going to Malaysia to work meant a chance at a decent life.Inadequate wages, dangerous working conditions and cramped dormitories are among the many challenges Nepali migrant workers face here.
She said when the sources in Malaysia indicate a demand for workers, the recruitment agencies will publish it in newspapers and informal agents will reach out to villagers on the advertised job opportunities and submit applications on behalf of the prospective migrants to the recruitment agencies.The recruitment agencies will then handle the paperwork and co-ordinate with the Nepali government to obtain labour approval for the prospective workers.
She said another reason is these migrant workers were recruited by an outsourcing company in Malaysia rather than a company that directly requires their services — although the migrants went through the process legally as individuals.Ghimire said it is important to note that there is no way for the workers to know that they have been recruited by an outsourcing company until they arrive.
Ghimire explained that what is worse is that when there is ambiguity or a supply of incorrect information, the company will have them sign a different contract from what the recruiter gave them, and they have no choice but to accept it since they are already here.
