New Delhi, Sept. 2 (ANI): Indian nationals working in Malaysia complain the least about exploitation, ill-treatment and non-payment of salaries.
Indian nationals working in Malaysia made only 65 complaints up to July this year.
Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs, Vayalar Ravi, said that Indian workers made 152 complaints in Malaysia last year, which is an increase from 131 in 2010 and 105 in 2009.
According to The Star, in a statement, he said that although the number of complaints registered in Malaysia had been increasing in recent years, it still remained low compared to other countries hosting workers from India.
Vayalar said Indian nationals working in Kuwait recorded the highest number of complaints with 2,253 grievances in the first seven months of the year, the report said.
This is followed by those in Qatar (2,194), Oman (1,494), Bahrain (470) and the United Arab Emirates (393), the report added.
According the report, Vayalar Ravi also said there are about 150,000 legally-recruited Indian workers in Malaysia, both in the skilled and semi-skilled segments and mainly in the services sector.
"Malaysia is among the top favourite destinations for Indian job-seekers due to the nearness (of the two countries) as well as the strong bilateral ties (between them)," he said.
India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the worker issue with Malaysia as well as with the UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, the report added. (ANI)
