“Some of them actually do not want to be rescued. Among those we had rescued in the most recent raid were a few Malaysians who wanted to return to these illegal syndicates,” Eldeen Husaini said. “We can confirm that there have been at least five cases of rescued ‘victims’ who made their way back to Cambodia. The recent news of 16 Malaysians, who were believed to have been tasered and beaten by illegal syndicates, being rescued and flown back to Malaysia from Cambodia made headlines in the country. With such cases being prominently highlighted, Eldeen Husaini admitted that it will be much harder to launch rescue efforts.
