Report human trafficking activitiesApart from misunderstandings on the issue of trafficking which in reality does not only involve migrants but also local citizens, many people are also afraid of lodging reports on human trafficking cases. Commenting on this, Hamzah said the public, as well as human trafficking victims, need not be afraid to report any human trafficking activity taking place in their area as their identity and information they provide will be kept confidential. Human trafficking is a modern-day slavery practice and a grave violation of human rights, freedom and dignity. He said Mapo has also prepared a National Report on Human Trafficking to explain the initiatives taken by the government to eradicate human trafficking in Malaysia.
