Malaysia - Slave Labour

KUALA LUMPUR: Wednesday March 14, 2007. Police rescued 16 Malaysian youths who were forced to “beg” for donations after they responded to advertisements promising well-paying jobs.

The youths were kept under constant guard in two places – an apartment and a house – after they finished “work” and were not allowed to make telephone calls. They were given only instant noodles to eat almost daily by the syndicate holding them.

They were rescued after The Star informed Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Amer Awal that one of the youths had managed to send an SMS to his family for help. - The Star.

I'm so glad they were rescued. These syndicate should be punished in weight with their sins! Deceiving people who are willing to work clean is unacceptable.
