KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (PTI): India and Malaysia yesterday agreed to initial a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that would protect thousands of Indians seeking employment in this Southeast Asian country from unscrupulous agents and middlemen.
"We have to prepare a draft which will be approved by both the countries working out details like working conditions for workers, minimum wage, recruitment procedures, conditions of employment etc," visiting Minister for Overseas Indians Vayalar Ravi told the news agency after meeting Malaysia's Human Resource Development Minister Fong Chan Onn.
"I hope the MoU can be signed during Fong's visit to India in October this year," Vayalar Ravi added.
He noted the Malaysian minister had also expressed anguish over the exploitation of Indian workers by these agents and middlemen.
