Tenagita urges Cambodia to stop sending maids to Malaysia


KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaganita, a Malaysian workers' rights group, urged Cambodia on Friday to stop supplying housemaids to Malaysia, claiming many are abused and made to work like slaves because of inadequate protection.

Malaysia has recruited thousands of Cambodian women since neighboring Indonesia barred domestic workers from coming to Malaysia in 2009 following a string of high-profile cases of assault by employers.
