Under Malaysian laws, workers should be given one rest day each week and work no more than 104 hours of overtime a month. Malaysia's Human Resources Minister M Kulasegaran said action will be taken against Top Glove for breaching labour laws on overtime hours. Ansell said it buys six base gloves from Top Glove and none were supplied to the NHS but it was investigating. "We concluded that termination was the most prudent course of action," said Fadzai Munyaradzi, Medline's corporate social responsibility manager for Europe. The labour ministry also said workers had access to lockers in which their passports were kept, denying confiscations.
