KUALA LUMPUR: Yola, in her 20s, left her home in Kampala, Uganda, a few months ago after she was enticed by a “recruitment agent” to work as a maid here with an attractive salary of US$1,000 (RM3,100) a month.
It turned out to be an offer from hell.
Yola never worked as a maid.
Instead, she was sent to China where she was forced to service men against her will.
A month later, she was sent here, where she was again forced to entertain clients.
“It seemed a good offer back then.
“The agent said he would pay for my travel documents and asked me to sign a contract.
“This made it even more convincing that this was a legitimate thing,” said Yola, who did not disclose her real identity for fear of retaliation from syndicate members.
She said once she landed in China, she was whisked away to a location where she was told that if she did not “serve” the customers, she would be beaten.
“I tried to resist and begged them to let me go but they just laughed at me.
“When they had nothing to do, they would entertain themselves by beating and raping us.
“If any of the girls refused to work, they would starve us,” she said.
Yola said that after a month in China, she and the rest of the women were flown to Malaysia to continue being sex slaves to her countrymen here.
Her ordeal finally ended with the police raid on Friday.
