It was small and overcrowded with about 300 trainees. We had only one shower facility, which meant that seven people had to shower at a time so there was no privacy. We had to sleep on the floor on mattresses and even had to share because there weren’t enough. It was also dirty with rubbish collection only once per week.
I worked for three months and during this period, I was not paid at all. I asked my employer for my salary, but she said that she was keeping it until after the seven- month deduction period. In the end, I never received any of the money.
My employer terminated my contract after three months and refused to return my passport and contract. In the end, I only received my passport from the placement agency at Hong Kong airport when I was about to return to Indonesia.
