Malaysian citizens lured to neighboring countries are allegedly trapped in debt bondage, facing demands of RM50,000 to RM100,000 for release. Victims work without pay, risking resale to other syndicates in the neighboring country. If unable to pay, families in Malaysia are contacted to settle the debt.

Tan Sri Musa Hassan, an advisor to the International Malaysian Society for Humanitarianism (MHO), reveals cases where families pay hefty sums for their release. The trafficking situation is escalating, with Malaysians either going voluntarily or falling victim to deceptive promises of lucrative wages. Stringent actions and government measures are urged to address this pressing issue.
