Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department’s anti-trafficking in persons and anti-smuggling of migrants (D3) unit assistant director Soffian Santong said police conducted a raid on a double-storey house in Bandar Rimbayu at 11pm.

“We rescued three women, aged between 30 and 44, consisting of two Indonesians and one Nepalese.

“During the raid, we also arrested a 62-year-old local woman, believed to be the employer of the three domestic helpers, and a 37-year-old Indonesian woman under Section 12 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 and the Immigration Act 1959/63,” he said in a statement today.

Soffian said the victims were believed to have been working at the residence without pay while waiting for other job offers.

He said preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, believed to be an unregistered domestic worker agent, had promised the victims a monthly salary of RM1,200.

All those arrested were taken to the Kuala Langat police headquarters for further investigation.
