\r\n

\u201cThis is a crucial moment for the labour movement and all workers in Malaysia. I truly congratulate Minister Sim for championing the ratification in less than a year since he assumed the post. This ratification will enliven the effort and enthusiasm of all stakeholders to raise the country\u2019s labour standards.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
