BANDUNG, West Java: An 18-year-old maid committed suicide
Saturday after her request for a wage rise was rejected, Antara
quoted police as saying here.

The maid, Lasmini, who worked for a midwife named Yulia on Jl.
Gempol Sari, reportedly hanged herself with a piece of raffia.

The teenager who hailed from Kutowinangun in Central Java was
found at 10 a.m. in her room by Samuel, 35, the midwife's son.

Lasmini had worked for Yulia for two years and had asked that
her monthly wage of Rp 50,000 (US$6.45) be raised to Rp 75,000,
police said after questioning the midwife.
