I asked my boss where is my salary, but he kept giving me empty promises that my salary will be credited.“I also asked him about my working permit because I knew that working in Malaysia without a permit is illegal. But he kept saying ‘next month’.”Jessica had also neglected her personal hygiene and diet due to lack of money.“Me and my housemates usually eat once a day. My colleague referred me to this job and she was also in the same situation as me (juggling three jobs). She’s in Malaysia and her salary was not paid to her.”Anne then immediately contacted her aunt, who works as a domestic helper in Hong Kong.“My aunt told me that this isn’t normal. I really miss my mother and Christmas is an important reunion for my family members, as my mother’s birthday falls on Christmas eve,” said Jessica.
