CAMBODIA SENDS MAIDS TO HONG KONG

PHNOM PENH : Cambodia sent its first batch of maids to work in Hong Kong on Wednesday as the financial hub scrambled to meet growing demand for-

Domestic helpers after a series of abuse scandals.

Hong Kong is home to more than 300,000 foreign maids, mostly from the Philippines and Indonesia.

But, high profile cases of abuse have seized global headlines in recent years and threatened to stem the tide of migrant helpers.

Hong Kong has turned to Cambodia to offset a potential maid shortage. Agencies.
