Rescued - helper who claimed abuse

GEORGE TOWN: An Indonesian maid who was allegedly beaten up frequently by her employer was rescued by police from a house in Jalan Datuk Keramat here.
A neighbour alerted the police who rushed to the house at about 5pm on Monday.
The maid, who is in her 30s, told police she was regularly beaten up by her employer, a housewife in her 40s, but there were no visible injuries on her body.
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said the maid would be sent to the Penang Hospital for a medical check-up.
“We will wait for a detailed report on whether the maid has internal injuries,” he said yesterday.
