There is no "in fairness" when you're being sexually tortured by hundreds of men in the space of two months. Malaysians are always slow in these kinds of cases. They were tipped off and only got to the girl in 2 weeks later? What if she was killed? I wouldn't be surprised if the Indonesian police could have done better in these kinds of situations. Malaysian authorities have always been horrible in handling cases that involves foreigners.

In fairness, the Malaysian authorities were trying their best to locate the girl's position as a later report mentions. A tip-off can only be the happening, not the venue. This is much better than here in Indonesia where action is much slower, if investigated at all.

A young and badly abused Indonesian sex slave forced to have intercourse with hundreds of men over the past two months has been rescued by Malaysian authorities.

The Star online reported that the Immigration Department in Penang rescued the unidentified woman, in her 20s, from a locked room in a house in George Town on Tuesday night. She did not have any valid travel documents in her possession.

Her alleged captors, from Bangladesh, were also taken into custody.

“The Bangladeshis, who were also without any documents, were in the house then and were arrested,” the news portal quoted Immigration Department official Abdul Rahman Hassan as saying. “They have been remanded pending investigations and the woman has been sent to the Penang Hospital for a check up.”

The department reportedly received a tip-off two weeks ago that the Bangladeshis, both in their 30s, “offered” the woman to their friends for a price. She was forced to have sex with a number of men daily or else she would be beaten.

The report did not say why it took so long for Malaysian authorities to act.

The Indonesian Consulate in Penang was not available for comment.
