The Indian "indentured laborers" were willing to sign on due to India's poverty and lack of opportunity. It's truly unfortunate that some of them made the mistake of agreeing to go to Malaya, then a semi-disorganized area with numerous Moslem mini-states, wild jungles filled with headhunters, high heat, higher humidity, and generally nasty circumstances ~ albeit, with great food, spices that knock the top off the Scovill Scale, and fantastic white beaches.

Any of the original "indentured laborers" who have a complaint about the conditions should petition "the current Malaysian government". Everybody else is, as it turns out, quite free to leave, and due to the wealth of the nation in general, higher education is widespread and folks can readily moxie up the bucks for the airfare to a different country.

Thank you for the interesting background, and I agree on all counts....the suit is entirely misplaced and misfocused and is only being brought against the UK because it has far deeper pockets than Malaysia and it’ll be far easier to play the ‘white guilt’ race card in the UK.
