Hamzah: Ranking in US report not reflective of Malaysia's fight against human trafficking

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has carried out a number of initiatives to curb human trafficking, even though its efforts were not reflected in the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report which ranked the country on the lowest tier.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said this was because the report was based on subjective assessment and perception, and influenced by the actions of certain employers who had exploited their workers.
