MP Mu Sochua spoke directly to Prime Minister Hun Sen today during a coffee break of the parliament session of the situation of Cambodian domestic workers in Malaysia.

PM Hun Sen acknowledged the problems and the grave impact on the welfare and well being of Cambodian domestic workers in Malaysia. He ordered deputy-prime minister Sok An to inform the minister of Labor to put a stop to the sending of domestic workers to Malaysia.

Sam Rainsy Party MPs are pushing for a review of all mechanisms of monitoring and investigation of employment agencies for the protection of Cambodian migrant workers in all sectors.
