Bukit Aman D3 principal assistant director SAC Soffian Santong said that the police conducted a raid on a double-storey house in Bandar Rimbayu at 11 pm. 'We rescued three women, aged between 30 and 44, consisting of two Indonesians and one Nepalese. 'During the raid, we also arrested a 62-year-old local woman, believed to be the employer of the three domestic helpers and a 37-year-old Indonesian woman under Section 12 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 and the Immigration Act 1959/63,' he said in a statement today.
