A domestic migrant worker who returned to Cambodia on Saturday yesterday recounted two years of alleged physical abuse by her employer in Malaysia while she fulfilled a contract for a recruitment firm based in the capital.

At a press conference held by Sam Rainsy Party lawmaker Mu Sochua at the National Assembly yesterday, 23-year-old Phorn Sothea of Kampong Cham province said she was abused on a daily basis and denied the right to contact her family while working under contract with recruitment firm VC Manpower.

“[My employer] said that she considered me as a dog,” Phorn Sothea said. “She beat me very cruelly. She poured hot water on my feet, body, pulled my head to hit the wall, pinched everywhere on my body, tore my lip … took the key to stab on my head until it bled, and tied my neck until I nearly died.”

What is happening to the great great grand daughters of ancient Angkor citizens??. In the 15th and 16th century the Dutch,Spain, Portuguese and Arabs chased and hunted down those savages in Malacca like wild animals. But now some of theirs remnants
becomes barbaric employers ? Khmer girls shouldn't travel abroad to become someone slave.
To some Khmers, especially the one who posted on Youtube the extravagance wedding (Hun Sen danced there!) should be very shameful that they have no feeling toward Khmer situation in general.

How can they survive. when they is nothing left at home but misery and suffering? even with the border shooting/killing in thai, that doesnt stop them from risking their life for a better life.
