“I sense that many employers here intentionally hire undocumented workers to stay free
from the responsibility for the welfare of workers and timely payment of wages,” he was
quoted saying.
Now that the appellate court has made its ruling, Hermono told Malaysiakini that the
embassy will be filing unpaid wage claims with the Malaysian Labour Department on behalf
of the undocumented Indonesian workers.
He said letting undocumented migrant workers take up their cases with the Labour
Department could also inspire employers to respect their rights.
Hermono added that the court ruling should not be seen as punishing employers who hire
undocumented workers.
“The immigration laws must still apply to both parties and not just one,” he told the news
portal.
On May 12, the Court of Appeal ruled to uphold an earlier High Court decision that the
undocumented immigration status of migrant workers do not prevent them from seeking
redress at the Labour Court.
