The five women are planned to be employed as household assistants. Meanwhile, another victim, a man, will be employed as a cleaner with a salary of at least RM 1,500 per month or the equivalent of IDR 4 million.
The process of departing prospective migrant workers was declared illegal because it was without legality and permission from the relevant services and was carried out individually.
"The victim was promised a job in Malaysia, and the perpetrator would deduct 4 months' salary," he said.
The perpetrator was immediately detained for further questioning. The police also brought evidence, namely five of the victim's passports, a cell phone, four Padang-Malaysia departure tickets and a Kerinci-Padang travel ticket.
