pressure on Malaysia to take swift action against abusive employers
after the death of an Indonesian maid working in Kuala Lumpur.
The beaten body of 24-year-old Kunasir was found last week. Police are
currently investigating a Malaysian couple for her murder.
"We need the Malaysian government to take swift action on this case.
This cannot go on as there are just too many cases where our people
have been mistreated," said A.M. Fachir, the Indonesian deputy chief of
mission here.

imung satriani, this is good stuff. Are these workers deprived of their passports and documents? The idea that these employers are beating and even killing their workers is abhorrent and repugnant. Suggestion: use the highlight tool and add commentary. I believe you're with Antara News, correct? Did you cover this story or take the photograph? What can you tell us from your experience and knowledge to give us more insight into this story?
This is important stuff. I'll be you won't hear about this via the tourist and PR industry. Thanks for bringing it forward.
