Nineteen-year-old R Priya, given a new lease on life after being a slave for 14 years, is still apprehensive about her future.
Priya and her younger brother Guna, 16, who were entrusted to their guardians by their single parent, were put to hard labour when they were five and three respectively.
Their now deceased mother, unable to care for them, had little choice but to given them away at a tender age.
In an exclusive interview with Malaysiakini, the siblings related the story of their "escape" from the clutches of their guardians in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan.
