Indian job seekers cheated in Malaysia return home | A group of technicians managed to return home here after suffering a raw deal at the hands of an unscrupulous
labour agent in Malaysia. The members of the group say they were cheated by an
agent, who took them to Malaysia with a promise to get them good jobs and high
salaries, but it was only after some time they realised that they he had duped
them. "We demanded our agreement papers from the agent at Chennai Airport . The
agent told us that he has already faxed the papers and we would receive them at
the Kuala Lumpur Airport . We asked for our papers at the Kuala Lumpur Airport
, we were told us that we would get them only when we cleared the qualifying exam
of the company…we have already cleared the test, they are cheating us. They hired
us for the post of welders but they want us to work on the post of a helper,"
said Savanth Kumar Singh, one of the victims. A social worker proved a major help
to the victimised group, as he ensured food and other things of necessities for
them. "We were left with a little money to meet our daily expenses…they (Indian
Embassy Officials) made our temporary arrangement at a temple, they provide us
with food for two days but the other days we were left unattended…A social worker
named Kamal Nathan provide us food, whenever Indian embassy failed to provide
the food, then he feed us, he helped us immensely," said Mahendra Deshmukh, another
victim. Thousands of unemployed Indians are duped by manpower sourcing agents
who promise a well-paid job in Malaysia and Gulf countries. Another batch of 11
technicians was expected to arrive on Sunday (September 06). |
