M'sia needs a 'fair platform' to address forced labour issue in plantation sector: minister

PARLIAMENT | Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Khairuddin Aman Razali today said Malaysia requires a "fair platform" to address unverified allegations of forced labour linked to its plantation sector.

Referring to the United States import ban enforced on FGV palm oil products, Khairuddin said the lack of a fair platform had caused the issue to drag on for years despite ongoing responses from FGV to the US Customs and Border Protection Agency.
