It happens all the time and no one seems to care. Yet another foreign domestic worker has plunged to her death from a building, this time in Saudi Arabia.

Arab News says the unnamed 25-year-old Indonesian woman fell from a two-storey building "while trying to run away from her sponsor" in Mecca. She had been in the kingdom for four months.

The paper adds that "Police have launched an investigation into the incident to ascertain the reason behind the woman's death." Really?
