Top Glove sales to UK unlikely to be dented by negative report

Singapore

LAST week's report on Top Glove Corporation by The Guardian is unlikely to dent its sales of surgical gloves to the UK's National Health Service (NHS), the Malaysian glove maker's managing director Lee Kim Meow said at an earnings call on Tuesday.

The article on Dec 10 suggested Top Glove medical gloves were made in Malaysia by migrant workers who were subjected to forced labour, forced overtime, debt bondage, withheld wages and passport confiscation.
