Abstract
Forced labor remains a pressing issue in Malaysia, particularly in sectors reliant on migrant workers, such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. This paper examines how Malaysia can combat forced labor by adopting global best practices from Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam. Brazil’s enforcement strategies, such as the “Dirty List” and Mobile Inspection Units, ensure transparency and accountability, while Thailand’s legal reforms and worker empowerment initiatives provide robust protections for vulnerable groups. Vietnam’s supply chain monitoring and international collaboration highlight the importance of aligning labor practices with global standards. Anchored in the Malaysia Madani framework, which emphasizes justice, ethical governance, and human dignity, this study advocates for strengthening enforcement, enhancing worker protections, and fostering public awareness. By integrating these lessons, Malaysia can address forced labor effectively, balancing economic growth with human rights and aligning with its vision of equitable development.
