: After more than a month escaping from their handlers, seven Malaysians who fell victim to human traffickers are still languishing in a Cambodian Immigration centre.

“We escaped from our employers 41 days ago. We managed to get a handphone to contact the local police and we were rescued by the Immigration Department in Sihanoukville,” said one of the victims. “In a day, the officers give us the phone twice to order our lunch and dinner. They are friendly but communication is a problem. We have contacted the embassy ,” she said.

The bustling seaside province has become a notorious hub for online scam activities operated by transnational criminals despite actions by law enforcers. Sarawak United People’s Party public complaints bureau chief Milton Foo told Bernama Sunday morning that he has contacted the Malaysian embassy in Phnom Penh and paperwork is pending approval from the relevant Cambodian authorities for them to return to Malaysia.
