Here’s an interesting article from the BBC reporting Migrant Rights abuses in Malaysia.  Here’s an excerpt:

Migrant workers in Malaysia are being exploited by both employers and police, Amnesty International says.

It says its report is the first to document how widespread the abuses are.

It says migrants are often forced into labour or exploited in other ways, such as having their passports confiscated by employers.

About one in five workers in Malaysia is a migrant. The Malaysian government has said it will increase checks on workplaces that employ foreigners.
