Dr S.Subramaniam comes out with a good suggestion indeed that plantation companies set up a special fund for the welfare of their estate workers after they retire. Perhaps can backdate it eh? How about tossing in some free land or funds to relocate the tamil school and one or temples as well?

He said that:

estate workers were usually left in a lurch once they retire. He said the workers often had everything provided when they were still employed.

Subramanium said estate managements should deduct a portion of the worker’s monthly salaries and pay them in one lump sum when they retire.

He said it was compulsory for management to provide houses for their workers should an estate be taken over for redevelopment.
