Police have rescued a Cambodian maid who was locked up in a double-storey house in Pandan Indah in Kuala Lumpur for nearly a week.

The maid, 18, was left with little food by her employers, who are believed to be on holiday.

Teratai state assembly representative Jenice Lee said the girl's plight caught the attention of the neighbours, who passed her food through the grilled windows.
