KUALA LUMPUR (May 20): The UK High Court had on Wednesday (May 18) allowed a case against the UK government to proceed for its continued use of gloves manufactured by Supermax Corp Bhd due to forced labour allegations against the Malaysian company, legal news and commentary website Jurist reported.

"In December 2021, the UK awarded a contract to Supermax to supply the National Health Service (NHS) with disposable gloves.

"All the Citizens, represented by UK law firm, Wilson Solicitors, is suing the government for continuing its relationship with the Malaysian company, despite an investigation uncovering allegations of forced labour in Supermax’s factories,” Jurist reported on Thursday (May 19).
