    The current initiatives in Malaysia to curb human trafficking are ineffective due to corruption, lack of government support, and poor law enforcement efforts. Corruption among immigration and police officials allows trafficking to continue through sabotaged documents and protected camps for victims. The government fails to properly manage foreign worker programs and provide adequate victim services. Despite initiatives, trafficking remains a significant problem in Malaysia due to these weaknesses in addressing its root causes and supporting victims.
