Thailand delays new labour act after


6,500 Myanmar workers return
Thailand has delayed the en-
forcement of the Management
of Foreign Workers Act for four
months in order for foreign

Department.
The move came yesterday

rector-General of the Labour
Department, and officials of
Thailand at a meeting in Yan-
gon yesterday.
More than 4,000 Myanmar
migrant workers returned yes-

on Wednesday after Thailands
labour act went into effect.
