Putrajaya, 17th June 2023 - Malaysia's economy can expect a shot in the arm, now that the country has been elevated to the Tier 2 Watch List in the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report.
Restrictions and impositions faced by the oil palm plantation industry would be eased as the country would no longer be seen as one that practises forced labour, said Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said the "promotion" came with 15 recommendations including checking the involvement of civil servants in human trafficking incidents which could be put in place.
"This new position will give Malaysian products better access to international markets. This is a relief because a lower ranking would affect our economy," he told a press conference yesterday.
