Khmers rescued from Malaysia, China
Three women and a child have been repatriated from Malaysia after being cheated by their brokers or subjected to laborious work. According to the Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Chum Sounry, the Cambodian embassy in Malaysia rescued a Cambodian woman and her three-year-old son who were forced to beg on the streets in Malaysia. The woman had been instructed by her broker to cross over into Malaysia via the Thai border. Another two female migrant workers, one from Kampong Speu and another from Kampong Cham province, also asked to be repatriated after they found their jobs as cleaners to be too difficult.
