Johor Police Arrest 4 Suspects in Abuse of Indonesian Domestic Worker in Malaysia
Johor police have arrested four locals over the abuse of an Indonesian domestic worker. The arrests were made after a video of the incident went viral on social media on June 14, 2026. The four suspects, a married couple aged 30 to 34, were nabbed on June 13, 2026, in the North Johor Baru area.
Johor Police Chief Datuk AB Rahaman Arsad said the assault on the foreign domestic worker happened back in July 2025, but only blew up online a year later. Cops seized mobile phones, clothing, CCTV, and other monitoring devices. The motive for the abuse is still being investigated.
Aside from the victim in the viral video, police uncovered two more Indonesian domestic workers who had also been mistreated. Authorities are now tracking down those two witnesses. The remand for the four suspects was initially only granted by the Johor Magistrates' Court for a day, so the police have filed for an extension.
