THE room is narrow and, as described by Human Resources Minister M. Saravanan, like a buffalo cage, dirty and smelly. That is the real situation of the hostel. The minister was shocked after inspecting the living conditions of foreign workers at a glove-processing factory at Batu 13 Cheras, Kajang.
The raid was carried out by 60 members of the Labour Department, Health Ministry, police and Kajang Municipal Council.
The workers were ‘piled up’ into two long 1.5m tall container, which are used as rooms.
The container is supposed to accommodate only 100 people at a time but 751 were living in one.
