KL celebrates the richness of its communities, from all walks of life. But despite that, there are still many stories left untold. Every end of the month, I Love KL will explore their stories, reimagined by various talented writers in the city. This week, we feature the story of Imah (written by Shari Jaffri), an Indonesian maid who is trying to reconcile her duty with her identity, away from home.

UnRepresented KL contributed the story in this episode.
