Plight of migrant workers - Part I
- 9 years ago
The problems facing migrant workers have been brought to the forefront again following the gruesome death of two Bangladeshi workers at a construction site in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur on 8th March 2009.
The two Bangladeshi workers were crushed to death by a ton of concrete bricks that fell from the 22nd floor of the almost-completed UOA Bangsar Tower after a crane cable snapped. The site is just a stone's throw from Malaysiakini office in Bangsar Utama.
Incidents like this one are not uncommon in the country,as Malaysiakini finds out after contacting various migrants' rights activists and organisations.
