A call for justice from a Malaysian citizen for a dead Cambodian maid

To whom it may concerned,

We came across a blog on your website (khmerization.blogspot.com) regarding "Malaysia Embassy saved Cambodian maid alerted by Khmerization's article", posted on 23 March 2011. We would like to bring your attention to a recent death of a Cambodia maid which we suspected the actual cause of death is due to the constant physical and mental tortured by her employer.

According to the local neighbourhood, they do constantly witness the deceased being beaten up and abused and had many times sought help from other maids in the neighbourhood. A day before her death, she passed down a message saying that if she really pass away without any valid reason, please inform her uncle back in Cambodia. What even provoking is that when we checked with the local police station, the feedback we get from the police officer is they had concluded the cause of death was due to natural causes i.e lungs infection. Rumors had been circulating around here saying that bribe has been given to the local police station officer to cover up the case as the employer is a well known and wealthy local businessman.

Not much personal details about this Cambodian maid we could provide to you. What we know is her name is KHOR PHAIK, about 15 years of age, her maid agent company name in Cambodia is TSE. She was found dead on 17th of July 2011 in the morning, lying at the back door of her employer's residence at No.3 Lorong Aman 7 Taman Robina 13050 Teluk Air Tawar Butterworth Penang Malaysia, by her employer. No further news were heard since her death.

As a sympathetic local community, this is what we can do the most to help this young pity Cambodian maid to seek for justice for her death. We sincerely hope some action could taken from your side to investigate further into this case.

Thank you!

Human-trafficking?

The first people who are answerable for this needless tragedy are the Cambodian authorities themselves who allowed a girl of fifteen years of age to work as maid in another country.

Isn't there any age limit set on people seeking employment abroad? What procedures are in place to ensure these Cambodian workers overseas are better protected from this kind of abuse?
