Indonesian helper beaten in Malaysia, 4 arrested

Four people have been arrested in Malaysia's southern state of Johor after videos circulating online appeared to show an Indonesian domestic worker being slapped, punched and verbally abused inside a private home. Two sisters and their husbands, aged 30 to 34, were taken into custody at a house in Taman Johor. The footage has renewed concerns about the treatment of Indonesian helpers in Malaysia, where about 60,000 are registered to work in private homes, and prompted calls for Jakarta to intervene. The case has sparked widespread outrage and demands for stronger protections for migrant domestic workers in the country.
