Malaysia’s government pledged Wednesday to address U.S. claims that it has not done enough to combat forced labor exploitation, but urged Washington not to make “unfair” accusations.
The U.S. State Department’s annual “Trafficking in Persons Report” _ which is meant to expose trafficking problems around the world and propose solutions _ put Malaysia on its list of top trafficking offenders Tuesday.
Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the government was not surprised by the criticism, adding that “after awhile, you get immune to these things.”
