PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association has urged the government to give it more time and space in managing housing and living standards for workers. “Our members are working hard to deal with challenges such as building new housing, new hostels, ensuring neighbours do not complain, getting approvals from local authorities and so forth,” he said in a media briefing today.

The amendments came into force on June 1 last year, mandating a minimum space requirement for workers’ accommodation, basic facilities as well as safety and hygiene standards.
