For a number of years now, the TIP (Trafficking in Persons) has categorised Malaysia as a source destination and transit country for human trafficking. This clearly shows the seriousness of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a transnational organised crime and without doubt is one of the most odious crimes against humanity. Malaysia is a favourite destination to traffickers due to its strategic location in Southeast Asia and porous coastline. This book highlights the seriousness of human trafficking to Malaysia as well as the challenges faced by the country in trying to circumvent the problem.
