Indian teachers allege abuse

Kuala Lumpur: Two music and dance teachers from India have accused their Malaysian employers of physically abusing them since the day they were hired three years ago.

They claimed that they were beaten by their employers, a couple, from the day they arrived at the music and dance school here. “They slammed our heads against the wall and would not stop even when we were bleeding,” one of them was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times on Sunday. “We were always watched and could not tell our students the truth. Besides, how could I tell them that their teacher was being treated like a slave?”

The Malaysian Indian Congress’ Youth Welfare bureau chief T. Mohan said a police report had been lodged. — PTI
