More recently, a Cambodian woman who has been working in the garment industry has been detained in Malaysia for nearly a month after she failed an annual health test and before she was able to make arrangements to return home. She is among 74 Cambodian migrant workers who have been arrested and detained in Malaysia for various reasons to do with visa violations.
