Boys work for days at a farm and get 'paid' with a melon


SIK: Five orang asli boys from Pahang walked aimlessly for almost 20km after they were ordered to leave a watermelon farm where they had been allegedly forced to labour for several days with nothing to show but a watermelon.

The exhausted and hungry boys, aged 11 to 16, from Kampung Batu Gong in Chini, were found wandering by a police patrol team in Kampung Gajah Putih, Jeneri, at 3pm on Wednesday.
