Cambodian recruitment agencies continued to send domes
tic workers to Malaysia on Monday morning, despite the Prime Minister’s written order on Saturday imposing a complete ban on the practice.
LICADHO monitors at Pochentong Airport observed at least 25 Cambodian maids checking in for an Air Asia flight AK 273 to Kuala Lumpur on the morning of October 17, 2011. The maids were identifiable by their short haircuts and shirts, which were emblazoned with the name of their recruitment agency. LICADHO monitors also confirmed the women’s destination by speaking to recruitment agency staff who accompanied the women.
