Many migrant workers travel far looking for a good life, but not all get what they were hoping for.
-
In fact, most of them have to face a lot of challenges and difficulties living in a foreign country.
-
My name is Siti Maryam.
-
(Siti Got Cheated)
I come from Indonesia.
-
I first came here in 2008.
-
I work in Klang as an office cleaner
-
from 7 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon
-
After that, I go to work at a food stall
-
from 5 till midnight.
-
I do not have any work permit whatsoever.
-
I don't have any documents.
-
The agent cheated me when I was applying for the 6P.
-
My agent's name is Arun.
-
His company is called DevCorp.
-
At first, I paid RM 200. Then I paid RM 300.
-
After that I paid another RM 600. And then RM 1500.
-
I made all these payments at DevCorp's office in Kepong.
-
I filed a police report on 25 February 2013.
-
Until now, there has been no update about my case.
-
My agent, Arun, keeps asking my friends for more money.
-
Some paid him RM 5000.
-
Others paid RM 3000.
-
He said the money is for the fee that must be paid for levy and immigration.
-
Me and my friends, about 400 of us,
-
went to the Embassy to file a complaint.
-
After that, I went to lodge a police report.
-
I hope my friends in Indonesia will be more cautious.
-
If you're coming to Malaysia, in the process of getting a permit,
-
there are many agents who will cheat you.
-
I am a good example.
-
I came to Malaysia and was cheated.
-
My agent took a total of 3800 riggit from me.
-
I hope the Embassy in Malaysia can take action against these agents who have cheated Indonesians.
-
Where are the law enforcement authorities? Who is at fault? How can we solve this problem?
