NGO: One drain cleaner can't sustain minimum wage issue

Jaringan Rakyat Tertindas (Jerit) has questioned whether one man's act of taking on a job of cleaning drains can really push the issue of minimum wage and workers' rights in the country.

Its national coordinator on workers' issues, M Sivaranjani, said it was not enough for one person to challenge this issue. “We need a movement, an action plan to bring up this issue nationwide,” she argued.
