On 26 August 2014, a riot involving thousands of workers – mostly Nepali migrants – broke out at the Johor factory of electronics company JCY International. This was allegedly triggered by reports that the family of a worker who had died did not receive adequate compensation. A number of groups claim that the riots are directly linked to the grievances of migrant workers, including poor living and working conditions, and limited access to medical facilities. Further details, including statements from JCY International, are available below.
