Cambodian domestic migrant workers are handed travelling documents and money by an employee from a labour recruitment firm before boarding a flight to Malaysia last month.
The parents of a domestic migrant worker who died in Malaysia just over a week ago had accepted that she passed away from natural causes as part of an agreement that allowed them to repatriate her body, opposition Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Mu Sochua told the Post yesterday.
At a press conference earlier yesterday, Mu Sochua said 42-year-old Ob Kuon had died on November 7 after being sent to Malaysia by labour firm VC Manpower, which had subsequently informed the family.
She then demanded a full investigation into the death.
But late yesterday, Mu Sochua said that after visiting the Ministry of Interior that afternoon, the deceased woman’s family had signed a perplexing agreement in which they accepted that their daughter had died abroad from natural causes.
