Herlina's parents confirm KL visit

SURABAYA: The parents of Herlina Trisnawati, an Indonesian migrant worker who is on death row in Malaysia, are slated to depart for Malaysia on Nov. 25.

The parents will visit their daughter to give her moral support and ask the Malaysian government to lighten the sentence. The visit will be paid for by PT Jatim Sukses Karya Bersama, the migrant worker recruitment agency that sent Herlina to Malaysia, according to an agreement forged between the company and the parents on Thursday.

Herlina was convicted for killing her employer. -- JP
