Here in North America, and I include Canada in this as well, and I expect the rest of the western world, there is a pretty vast number of people who are extraordinarily underpaid. I speak specifically of people in the retail and service sector. These are people who get worked the hardest, get to suffer the abuse of disgruntled people over situations they have little or no control over, and have little or no job security. Anyone who plays off one store against another, or goes to a mail order rather than a local business so they can save a few dollars is promoting this, and it spreads from the frontline person right back to the people who produce the raw materials to make whatever you are buying. If we practice this sort of sweatshop capitalism in the western world, why would you hold a higher standard for a "developing nation" as the CBC so cutely calls countries that don't have the economic advantages of North American or other Western nations. If we don't buy from countries like Malaysia, who are we really hurting? Are we hurting corpoations and their boards of directors or are we hurting the very workers whose plight we are sympathetic towards? If you are really concerned about the state of workers affairs in Malaysia, I suggest you would be better advised to buy the Malaysian made product, to help out the workers there as best you can now, and then lobby your government to put pressure on the Malaysian government to pass some worker protecion laws. Just remember, though, the reason Japanese companies go to developing countries for labour is because we want cheap products here in the west. We are the problem, not the Malaysian companies.
