Forced labour, encompassing various types of coercive practices and
rights violations, is an entrenched problem in Malaysia. Recent
years have seen more decisive and concerted efforts to resolve the
problem and repair Malaysia's damaged reputation, but the country's
forced labour woes escalated amid COVID-19, with exposés and trade
embargoes in 2020–21. Most consequentially, the US has imposed
withhold release orders (WROs) on major rubber glove manufacturers
and palm oil producers. For two consecutive years, 2021–22,
Malaysia has occupied the lowest Tier 3 in the US Trafficking in
Persons report. In November 2021, the country's National Action
Plan on Forced Labour (NAPFL), formulated through tripartite
engagements with the participation of the International Labour
Organization, was launched, with the third National Action Plan on
Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP 3.0) operating in tandem. The NAPFL
outlines strategies and integrated measures for eventually
eliminating forced labour by 2030, which requires systemic
solutions commensurate with the magnitude of underlying problems.
Forced labour has persisted despite the official termination of
labour outsourcing and increased intergovernmental bilateral
initiatives to better manage foreign worker flows. Continual
challenges in the labour supply industry and the administrative
system, including the problematic overlapping powers of the
Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Human Resources,
complicate the creation and implementation of a more just,
effective and accountable migrant worker system.
Government-to-government (G2) agreements, through Memorandum of
Understanding, have become the established platform, but are marred
by inconsistency and lack of transparency. The new government of
Malaysia will need to address deep-seated issues and confront
vested interests, domestically and in the labour source countries,
to realize the aspiration of eliminating forced labour by 2030.
