Two Cambodian maids were repatriated from Singapore on Wednesday due to what they claim were overly strenuous working conditions.
Cambodian maids began traveling to the rich city-state late last year as part of a pilot program.
Phon Mao, 24, said yesterday that she had been sent to Singapore at the end of last year by recruiter Philimore Cambodia after working in Malaysia.
“I had to do so much work in a three-storey house from 6am to 10pm every day without any days off. I asked my employer for a day off, but they said I would meet men and did not allow me. I endured working like this for six months, but then I decided to run away and ask an NGO for help,” she said.
