PUTRAJAYA, March 27 — The Ministry of Education (MOE) is considering black-listing contractors, who are unfair and mistreat workers, from getting the related contracts under the ministry, said its Minister Maszlee Malik.

He said MOE would review policies and contract procedures to ensure such contractors were strictly penalised.
