MUAR: About 100 workers from Nepal were arrested after information was received that they were planning to hold an illegal protest to demand for their wages. Police detained the workers at several places in town while others were picked up at roadblocks here Sunday. It was believed that the workers were upset that they had yet to receive their minimum wage for foreign labour.
