Maid given a meal and forced to work 17 hours [in Malaysia]

KUALA LUMPUR - The Cambodian maid rescued from a house in Taman Sri Sinar, Segambut, on Wednesday was not only abused by her employer but was also forced to work 17 hours at two different locations.

Police investigations revealed that the 25-year-old woman, identified as Neak Ban, was also given only one meal a day.

Sentul deputy police chief Superintendent Othman Abu Bakar said three suspects -- a 52-year-old man and his two daughters, aged 20 and 23 -- were arrested at their house on Wednesday.

"Initial investigations revealed that the victim who started work in May last year, had to work from 8am to 6pm at the house in Taman Sri Sinar, before she was taken to Sungai Buloh to continue until 1am."

Apart from being overworked, Othman said the victim claimed she was not well fed and constantly assaulted by all three.

"She said her employers used to slap, punch and beat her, sometimes even using high-heeled shoes and sticks."

He added that Neak Ban's hands, face, ears and her right eye were badly bruised when they rescued her. Police also found old scars on her, believed to be marks from earlier assaults.

He said the victim was currently being looked after by the Women's Aid Organisation.

"We are now waiting for the victim's medical report before proceeding further in the investigations."

The remand order on the three suspects ends today.

Cambodia could have greeted and meet many people from different countries if she competed in Miss.Universe. But sadly she chose not to and remained unknown to many countries and the world probably forever!!

These ASEAN countries,culture and beauty are known to the whole world and all competed in Miss.Universe and are all developed.

Known countries,culture and beauties to the world and competes in Miss.Universe!!

1.Indonesia
2.Philippines
3.Singapore
4.Thailand
5.Vietnam
6.Malaysia

Unknown countries, culture and beauty to the world probably forever and least developed countries who don't compete in Miss.Universe.

1.Cambodia- We Khmer's are so lame that we are on this list of unknowns!!
2.Myanmar
3.Laos
4.Brunei

11:35 PM, there is no job in Cambodia. If there are jobs that pay them well in Cambodia, do you think they wanted to risk their life like this? This is what happen to Khmers when Cambodia's leaders like Hun sen don't care about the livelihood of their own people.
