BFM takes a look back at the history of unions in Malaysia – from their roots in the colonial era and role in the independence movement, their waning powers following independence and the continued struggle for fair wages, job security and dignity.

BFM speaks to Charles Hector, an Aliran member, who wrote a series of articles in 2017 chronicling the unions and labour movements in Malaysia.

Presented and produced by: Dashran Yohan/BFM

The views expressed in Aliran's media statements and the NGO statements we have endorsed reflect Aliran's official stand. Views and opinions expressed in other pieces published here do not necessarily reflect Aliran's official position.
