Tenaganita today criticised both the government and opposition for not paying enough attention to human trafficking issues.

"It is not just the government, if you look at the opposition parties, if you look at Malaysia as a whole, human trafficking is not the priority.

"We turn a blind eye and deaf ear on what is happening," Aegile Fernandez, co-director and consultant for migrant rights group Tenaganita, told a press conference in Petaling Jaya today.
