Domestic helper scam syndicates thrived during Covid-19 crisis


KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran actress and singer Azza Elite parted with RM10,000 to an agency after a domestic helper showed no interest in carrying out the task of caring for her child.

"During the movement control order, only one person was allowed to leave home besides those who were allowed to work at the office. I was looking for a domestic helper to take care of my child, but to my shock, the one who reported for work was not what I expected,” she said.
