from.thestar.com.my – A GROUP of transsexual sex workers in Chow Kit are using pornographic films to distract clients before robbing them, reported Harian Metro.

Members of the group would seduce the victim while another sex worker would try to steal belongings like wallets and handphones.

In a recent incident, a client known as Ping said he was asked to lie on the bed before choosing a free DVD pornographic movie to watch as a “warm-up”.

“The sex worker told me to take off my pants. It was then placed on a chair nearby,” said the 33-year-old chef.

Ping declined to elaborate on what happened next, but said he reached for his pants only to find that his handphone was missing from the pocket when he heard loud noises that sounded like a fight outside the room.

“I was even more surprised to find that my wallet, which was originally in my pocket, was moved to the top of the television set. Some RM400 was also gone,” he said.

After Ping repeatedly demanded the sex worker to return his valuables, she finally agreed to give them back, claiming that her friend had stolen them.

> A 19-year-old Indonesian maid in Kuala Lumpur was abused so severely by her employers and two teenage children that she is not able to speak loudly after sustaining frequent injuries to her throat, reported Kosmo!.

Sri Lestari Wigoyo said her injury was permanent after her abusers, including the children aged 15 and 16, kept hitting her around the throat.

“My family cannot even recognise my voice now,” said the maid who started working three years ago.

She said the family had treated her well until after two months when she was punished for simple mistakes such as not ironing the clothes well and for making noises when washing the dishes.

Sri Lestari added that her ears were hurt with a stick, her hair was tugged, shoes were thrown at her and she was kicked against a wall.

After receiving complaints from neighbours, the police arrived at her employer’s house and she was then taken to the hospital before being placed at a hostel.

A police report had been lodged over the matter.
