KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia aims to file 30 charges against glove maker Brightway Holdings Sdn Bhd and two of its subsidiaries, after raids that found workers’ accommodation was not up to legal standards.
The Labour Department, part of the Ministry of Human Resources, conducted a raid on one of the glove-making factory in Kajang district, just outside Kuala Lumpur, last week where they found workers living in cramped, dirty shipping containers stacked behind the premises.
The ministry said in a statement late on Sunday it had found “facilities that do not meet the minimum standard specifications” and the employer did not have a proper certificate of accommodation.
