CH A PT E R 1 10. Training of trainers programme and training module on business and human rights for Felda Global Ventures Officers In the MoU between SUHAKAM and Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) last year, SUHAKAM made a commitment to develop a training module and conduct a Training of Trainers (TOT) session on Business and Human Rights for FGV Operational Level Officers. The module was divided into 3 sections, namely “Introduction to Human Rights and SUHAKAM”; “Introduction to Business and Human Rights”; and, “Human Rights Issues relating to Business and Human Rights”. Among the issues that were discussed were the rights of employees (minimum wages, contract, safety and health, right to be involved in a union, freedom to speak, passport storage and housing), sexual harassment, discrimination, human trafficking and forced labour, child labour, environment, indigenous peoples’ right to their native customary land and forced eviction as well as complaint mechanisms. Following the development of the training module, SUHAKAM conducted a TOT workshop at the FGV Training Centre, Kuala Lumpur, from 4 - 6 December for 30 FGV officers who will then go on to conduct a one-day training session in 2019 for operational officers at all FGV estates. 11. Human rights workshop for administrators of tahfiz/religious schools in Kuala Lumpur Several incidents were reported to have occurred at tahfiz or religious schools in the country, including the death of 21 students in a fire in 2017. This prompted SUHAKAM to organise a programme for the administrators of such schools to educate them on the right of a child to education and safety. With the collaboration of the Federal Territory Religious Department, SUHAKAM managed to organise a human rights workshop for administrators of 38 tahfiz schools in Kuala Lumpur on 3 and 4 December. Besides educating the participants on the Convention on the Rights of Child (CRC), the workshop also enlightened the participants on the safety requirements for their buildings. The latter was provided by the Fire Department of Kuala Lumpur. The Federal Territory Health Department also taught them health aspects of living in boarding schools. The workshop was well-received. The religious department suggested that another workshop is held next year for other tahfiz schools in the Federal Territory that were unable to participate this time. SUHAKAM ANNUAL REPORT 2018 31
