Case summary In early 2010, Agus said Mary Jane was offered another job as a domestic helper in Kuala Lumpur by a godsister identified only as Christine or Cristina. But when she arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the job was no longer available. Christine then asked Mary Jane to go to Yogyakarta in Indonesia instead.
