PETALING JAYA: Supermax Corp Bhd has completed refurbishment work to upgrade dormitories to provide better living conditions to workers as part of its foreign worker management policy to meet international compliance standards.

       Its workers’ accommodation now meets local and expected international standards with improved canteen and other amenities.

       “While these upgrades are now completed at Supermax facilities, the company is committed to continuously improving its facilities to provide a vibrant and comfortable working and living environment for its workers,” Bernama reported the glove maker as saying in a statement yesterday.

       The company said it had also completed the first batch of former foreign workers’ payout under its revised eligibility outreach programme.

       Supermax had in February this year announced an outreach programme and the setting up of a sinking fund to facilitate remediation payment to its former foreign workers.

       “Besides the internally set-up workers’ committee, and to reinforce protection of workers’ rights,

       Supermax, together with an international consulting firm, has introduced to its workers a channel to voice concerns,” it said.
