PUTRAJAYA: A housewife has been ordered to begin her 10-year jail term after losing her final appeal on a charge of trafficking an Indonesian woman and exploiting her for forced labour.

This followed a decision by a three-member Court of Appeal bench comprising Justices Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk SM Komathy in dismissing Zaimatulhakma Abdul Hamid’s appeal against her conviction and jail sentence.
