00:00Two women were ordered by the Ampang Sessions Court on Tuesday to enter their defence on
00:07charges of trafficking an Indonesian woman and employing the woman as a maid without
00:12a valid permit.
00:14Judge Wan Mohamad Norisham Wan Yaakob issued the order to 56-year-old consultant Ong Su
00:20Ping Serene and businesswoman 53-year-old Sang Yok Leng after finding that the prosecution
00:26had succeeded in establishing a prima facie case against them at the end of the prosecution
00:31case.
00:32The court said that there was evidence showing the victim, 42-year-old Maryance Kabu, had
00:36been exploited by the two women, who were also violent against her.
00:40The court said the Maryance agreed to work as a maid, but not to be used as a punching
00:45bag.
00:46Justice Wan Mohamad Norisham said Ong had taken the victim to her house to work as a
00:52maid, and the victim testified she was forced to eat rice with chillies, do sitting and
00:58standing exercises while naked, forbidden to bathe with the bathroom door shut, eat
01:03from a dog bowl, and was assaulted and threatened.
01:07It is said Sang saw the violent act by the first accused, but did not stop it.
01:11Instead, she hit the victim.
01:14The court said it was also an offence to employ a foreigner with no work permit.
01:19Ong and Sang were charged with trafficking Maryance Kabu for exploitation as a maid in
01:24a house in Pandan Jaya between April and December 2014.
01:29They were also charged with employing a person who does not have a valid work permit at the
01:34same place and date.
01:36The court fixed August 19 for mention.
01:39Meanwhile, the court acquitted and discharged Ong on two counts of causing serious injury
01:45and attempted murder of Maryance after finding that the prosecution failed to establish a
01:50prima facie case against her.
01:53The two women had been given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal twice, in July and
01:57October 2017, when the prosecution witnesses failed to appear in court.
02:03However, they were charged with the same charges again on January 6 last year.
02:10When met outside the courtroom, Maryance said she, even though her fight has been ongoing
02:15for 10 years, she still remembered this tragedy clearly to this day.
