A woman has been arrested for allegedly abusing her domestic helper at her home in Rawang.
Gombak district police chief ACP Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the suspect was detained and remanded for four days from today until December 11. Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the abuse.
The victim, who began working for the employer in September, reportedly was not paid any wages and has since been placed in a shelter for her safety.
According to media reports, the helper claimed she was punched in the face, stabbed with scissors, and suffered burns on her left arm after being pressed with a heated knife. Her hair was also cut during the alleged incident. She fled the house and sought help from neighbours before being rescued.
