Jakarta has since claimed that Indonesian maids, which make up some 85 per cent of Malaysia's 320,000 domestic workers, are not sufficiently protected by labour laws.
Following reports of several other maid abuse cases, Indonesia banned its maids from being sent to Malaysia until steps are taken to protect the workers.
Indonesian maids, who are paid a monthly wage of 500 ringgit (142 dollars) and above, do not have days off and are not permitted to keep their own passports or bank account books.
Malaysia said last month it would set up a task force with Indonesia to look into the grievances of Indonesian maids, and expressed confidence the ban would be lifted in the next few months.
