An NGO has received numerous complaints from 22 Muslim foreign workers claiming they are not allowed to perform Friday prayers by their employers.

Pertubuhan Kebajikan Global Keselamatan Manusia Malaysia president T Kamalanathan told Malaysiakini some of the workers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, had allegedly been fired, and even hit, for demanding their right to pray.
