Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Muhaimin Iskandar assured on Tuesday that the family of Muntik Binti Bani, 39, a migrant worker who was beaten to death by her employers, would receive insurance.

Muhaimin is scheduled to leave for Malaysia next month to continue discussions about the protection of Indonesian migrant workers.

Indonesia had stopped sending migrant workers to Malaysia due to concerns over their safety and rights.

Muntik, from Jember, East Java, died at Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang Selangor, Malaysia, on Monday.

She was found in the bathroom when police raided her employer’s home on Oct. 20 on a tip-off from a local resident. When she was rescued, she couldn’t move her legs. Muntik suffered a broken back, broken wrist and deep cut on her legs. Her face was also bruised.

Meanwhile, Malaysia’s Minister of Manpower, S. Subramaniam, promised that Muntik’s employers will be punished. Subramaniam said the Malaysian government would not tolerate anyone who abuses their workers.
