Workers Decry Ex-Employer's Harassment
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - A few foreign workers here allege they have been subjected to harassment by their former employer for unknown reasons.

They told the Bulletin that their former employer allegedly made "false" reports causing them distress, difficulty and grief.

They said the reports were proven wrong and no action was taken against them.

"Prior to working at the current company, we worked for him. We went home after we completed our contracts.

"However, on knowing we have returned to this country and currently working for other companies, he (the former employer) started to harass us," they alleged.

They said the harassment was more personal. He said they and the former employer came from the same village.

"He may have felt betrayed after we moved to a new company. But it is our right to do so," they said.

They said their former employer had harassed them on at least three occasions for reasons they did not know.

"We work legally in this country and we never break any law here. But our former employer should also watch out, he might be charged with making false reports.

"We are also thinking of taking legal action to claim damages for the mental anguish caused by him as we have gathered proofs that he was responsible for our difficulties," they said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
