Makkal Osai reported that the Blue Valley estate workers in Cameron Highlands are claiming that they had not received their salaries for the past five months.
They claimed that the problem started after a private company bought the estate from the National Land Finance Cooperative Society.
Blue Valley MIC branch chief S. Cheran said that the estate management had failed to give any decision on the payment of the arrears.
He said he would set up a special fund in the name of the estate workers to help them overcome their daily expenses, children’s educational expenses and medical expenses adding that he hoped the MIC and other community leaders would contribute towards this special fund.
He said the Human Resources Ministry should look into helping the estate workers who had not been paid.
