Another disease that is threateningto become an epidemic again is tuber-cillosis (TB), -

Marly tbeorieshave been put forward \for the reslirgence in Malaysia of old Idiseases like TB,malaria, and others,

andJIlany explanations have centred ~on the influx of foreign workers intothe country with little or no medical iassessment.

It is past time that we extended basic I

medical services to migrant workers as Ithey enter, and while they remain, in
