Syndicate Charged Between RM150 and RM250 Daily for Exploited Workers

The syndicate busted by the Immigration Department charged between RM150 and RM250 per day for the services of foreign women working as maids and cleaners. This operation, conducted in Temerloh, Pahang on May 16, led to the rescue of 10 Indonesian women who were allegedly victims of this exploitation. The syndicate is believed to have been in operation for over two years and generated substantial profits.
Daily Fees for Maid and Cleaner Services

The syndicate's business model involved providing foreign women, primarily Indonesian nationals, for domestic work as daily maids and cleaners. Clients were charged a daily rate ranging from RM150 to RM250 for these services. This fee structure formed the basis of the syndicate's income.
Estimated Annual Profitability

Authorities estimate that the syndicate has been operating for more than two years and has amassed a significant profit, reportedly around RM900,000 annually. This substantial income suggests a well-established operation with consistent demand for its exploitative services.
Exploitative Conditions for Rescued Women

The 10 rescued Indonesian women, aged between 23 and 50, were found to be working under exploitative conditions. They reported not receiving their wages in cash, being denied days off, and having their mobile phones confiscated, preventing them from contacting their families. These women were present on expired social visit passes.
Syndicate Structure and Operation

During the raids, an Indonesian woman in her 30s, also on an expired social visit pass, was detained as she was believed to be supervising the exploited women. Subsequently, the owner of a job recruitment agency, a woman in her 40s, was apprehended. She is suspected of facilitating the arrival of these foreign nationals and managing the syndicate's overall operations.
