Joint call for freeze on Cambodian maids

Tenaganita and Cambodian opposition MP have linked arms to stop the rising abuse of Cambodian domestic workers in Malaysia.

PETALING JAYA: Tenaganita and Cambodian opposition MP, Mu Sochua, today issued a joint call for a freeze on the recruitment of Cambodian domestic workers to Malaysia.

The call comes amidst the alarming rise in abuse and exploitation of Cambodian domestic workers in the country.

Last month an underage Cambodian domestic worker was found dead outside her employer’s house in Penang while another was recently rescued from her abusive employer in Segambut.

Mu Sochua, a well-known figure in the Sam Rainsy Party and a former Women’s Affairs Minister, arrived in Malaysia yesterday after numerous attempts to engage the Malaysian government failed.

I did not press the panic button hard enough or become militant about it. And that's is my failure.
