In the chapter of Malaysia, the focus on Domestic Workers and roles of MTUC with the title "Organizing Migrant Domestic Workers in Malaysia: Ways out of Precarity"

Embarking on a long, bumpy roadto success (Malaysia)

In the introduction of the paper, mentioned:
 Ulrike Putz (2018:109):

"By any measure, Foreign Domestic Workers (FDW) in Malaysia have it pretty bad. Most of the women work backbreaking hours, seven days a week. Many are beaten regularly and locked up like pets when their employers leave the house.
If their bosses decide not to pay them, there is little they can do. Many are literally trapped. Because their employers can confiscate their passports and phones, there are few ways to tell anyone how bad things are, ask for advice, or flee. Despite this, an estimated 250,000 women from Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Nepal work in Malaysia as domestic help. Work being scarce at in their home countries, they come to Malaysia hoping for a decent salary. Instead, they often live and work in dire circumstances, with few protections offered by Malaysian authorities."

On that context, how MTUC play roles as a employee institutions with the collaboration with international movement.

- Kesan Mogok  

Mogok adalah aspek paling penting dalam konflik industri. Mogok ditakrifkan sebagai penghentian kerja sementara dalam usaha mengejar keluhan atau permintaan. Namun dalam praktiknya, sukar untuk memisahkan mogok dari bentuk ekspresi perselisihan industri yang lain kerana majikan mengunci pekerja dan pekerja sendiri melakukan tindakan mogok. Adalah lebih berguna untuk melihat kedua-dua fenomena itu sebagai sebahagian daripada situasi konflik, bukan sebaliknya. Jarang berlaku mogok atas satu masalah dengan sebab yang jelas boleh dikaitkan dengan beberapa masalah lain yang tidak langsung dapat dilihat oleh pemerhatian yang telah menimbulkan rasa tidak puas hati kerana penyelesaian untuk mereka telah lama datang.
