ok lor...don't buy from topglove...

Then buy from who? There is more than 50% chance that will still end up with gloves supplied by another malaysian manufacturer.

Meh... New Zealand has a population of 4.8 million people.Too small to even notice.

Any way the slave condition is the low salary of RM1200/mth for an unskilled laborer... Malaysian fresh grad average salary is RM2680. How much can you really pay an unskilled laborer in malaysia?


So sorrylah, Miss New Zealand.. we are poor Asians.. living in developing nation.. giving jobs to even poorer people form even poorer nations. Wished could pay unskilled laborer NZ 18.90/hr like you do as minimum wage. But our Malaysian fresh University grad only get paid the equivalent of NZ 4.88/hr. Even upper level Malaysian manager may not make NZ 18.90/hr. Yes.. by your standards.. less than 5% of Malaysian workers earn more than the minimum wage in New Zealand... So sad.

50% of the world earns less USD 165 a month, @RM 693. Or put it another way, those workers in Topglove are earning nearly double what they would make in their home nation.

Life is too good for NZ, you should donate more to Bangladesh, Nepal , India , Pakistan where people are dying of hunger due to Covid (with drought, typhoon, lost of jobs / income due to lock down).

At this point, those NGOs are paid to talk nonsense and taking advantage of peoples life out of work.

NZ policy now is rubbish & tell people what is human rights ? Double standard. Go and produce your own gloves and experience the real value and hard work being develop for years.

There are some jap multi-national companies running standing operation (no sitting during working)from 7-7 with only 50 minutes break timefor whole days. Why not those western human right activists sue those jap companies???
Obviously those westerner have their own agenda & evil intention.

You are absolutely right. NZ is one of the 5 eye countries, what do u expect ? Australia mount its moral high horse to lecture about human rights. But read this (just google):"Witnesses say Australian SAS soldiers were involved in mass shooting of unarmed Afghan civilians"

Prisoners who fight wildfires and clean up after hurricanes get paid as little as 14 cents an hour...

Although they are prisoners but they had been put into justice. When they are ask to help to fight with natural disaster, they are actually endanger their own life, they are doing good to the country..why their pay is so low??? Where is the human right in US???

gone case country la NZ, another white lotus. They are forcing 3rd world industry to stop employing 5th world countries manpower in the name of human right defense. Btw, population of Selangor alone is more than 6.5 Million. and actually, less than 5% of local malaysian earn more than their minimum wage. Their minimum wage is about 18.90 NZD per hour, which is RM 52.40 per hour, many of us earn only RM50 a day. A DAY. Our lives and time is worth 8 times lesser than them, wouldnt it make more sense for them to pay NZD$20 for one box of gloves to malaysia supplier directly so that more money can flow to the worker? why buy from ansell? why bought from another first world country that exploit us? Ansell is Australian company isnt it? they strip 50% of the profit and gave peanuts to malaysia and now malaysia have to spoon feed the foreign worker like the workers are some long lost prince from NZ? hello? not like malaysia dont want to be nice to foreign workers, we empathize with them because we also often have family members who are working like kulis in other kononnye first world countries, its more like we are not as rich as AUS and NZ that we cant do like their standard of good because what is normal wage for NZ actually LUXURIOUS here? can you imagine earning close to RM9k just by packing gloves into boxes?
