PETALING JAYA: Two Bangladeshi women, believed to be sex trafficking victims, were rescued by the immigration department yesterday after allegedly servicing clients without pay for a month.
The women, aged 30 and 34, were only provided food and drinks, reported Bernama.
“The victims were forced to work from morning until late at night, serving foreign clients brought by a syndicate,” said the department.
Four Bangladeshi men were arrested during the raid, including the caretaker.
Two of them are believed to be members of a human trafficking syndicate while a third man was a customer.
The syndicate’s modus operandi involved bringing in foreign women, particularly from Bangladesh, under the pretence of offering jobs with a salary of around RM2,000.
