An Indonesian migrant worker
Munti Binti Bani has died on Monday after being hospitalized for several days
due to alleged torture by her employees in Selangor, Malaysia.
Antara state news agency has
reported that Munti had been treated at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah hospital since
last Tuesday and died on Monday at 10 a.m, local time. Munti was found
unconscious with her hands and feet were tied in a bathroom in Taman Sentosa
housing complex last Tuesday. She was suffering from major wounds on her body
and had apparently been beaten with iron.
Munti's body will be sent
tomorrow to her hometown in Pondok Jeruk Barat village
of Jombang, East
Java after undergoing autopsy at the hospital. “We express our
deep condolences as there is yet another worker who was tortured and passed
away at the hospital,” Indonesia's
Ambassador for Malaysia, Da'i
Bachtiar said in Kuala Lumpur
on Monday. “The Embassy will arrange for all compensation, including insurance,
she deserves to receive,” Da'i said.
He added that Munti's
employees Vanitha and Murugan had been detained and were undergoing questioning
at the local police office. “We hope the police can uphold justice and punish
them should they be proven to be involved in the case,” he said.
