A MAID agency is worried for the safety of two maids from Cambodia who have gone missing from their employer’s house in Taman Ghee Hiang in Penang since July 7.

Agensi Pekerjaan Bumiteras Sdn Bhd managing director Baby Goh said the maids had only been in the country for three weeks and both were working in the same house.

She said Sakon Vuth, 23, and Sinorn Chim, 32, were last seen by the employer at about 7am that day.

“When the employer came back from the market, both of them had gone missing but all their belongings are still at the employer’s place including their passports.

“I am worried for their safety as they might have been taken away by a syndicate, and due to communication problems they might be in trouble,” she told a press conference organised by Penang Gerakan public complaint bureau chairman Dr Kiew Hen Chong in George Town yesterday.

Goh said she had made a police report on the matter.

She said Sakon was 150cm tall, while Sinorn was 152cm tall.

She claimed there were a few foreigners going on motorcycles and handing a piece of paper containing their contact numbers to maids telling them that they could offer better jobs.

She said such cases were rampant in Pulau Tikus, Minden Heights and Island Glades.

She said those with information can call her at 012-4878873 or 04-6264113.
