BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Maid abuse case shocks Malaysia

Nirmala Bonet, 19-year-old Indonesian domestic helper in Malaysia is physically abused by her employer. This kind of abuse is the worst case in Malaysia so far. Thank God this woman at least survived!

This kind of abuse is absolutely revolting. There is no justification for the employer's abuse! I will personally douse the abuser in molten steel if I get a chance!

Nirmala is not alone! There are many abuses against household helpers all over the world. If anyone in power or capacity to help can read this post please help these people!
