Migrant workers trafficked for forced labour occupy one of the most vulnerable positions in the global labour market. In Malaysia, migrant workers in industries such as palm oil, construction, and domestic work are often recruited through deception or coercion, facing exploitative working conditions that include withheld wages, passport confiscation, and threats of deportation (US Department of State 2020). These workers encounter a complex web of legal, social, and institutional barriers that hinder their access to protection and justice, further exacerbated by restrictive immigration policies and inadequate labour protections (UNODC 2025).

摘要

Migrant workers trafficked for forced labour occupy one of the most vulnerable positions in the global labour market. In Malaysia, migrant workers in industries such as palm oil, construction, and domestic work are often recruited through deception or coercion, facing exploitative working conditions that include withheld wages, passport confiscation, and threats of deportation (US Department of State 2020). These workers encounter a complex web of legal, social, and institutional barriers that hinder their access to protection and justice, further exacerbated by restrictive immigration policies and inadequate labour protections (UNODC 2025).
