Gosh, it's really sad to hear that...

In my opinion 1st thing she has to do is: Seek help from professional.

Psychology Centres usually have experience dealing with this kind of issue.
Throughout the consultations, they will advise the best way possible to your friend.

From there, I imagine there will be 3 ways to deal with this issue:
1) Reinforce her mental strength so she can endure the abuse without breaking down her mind (yes some people have mental breakdown when in great distress / feel too hopeless)

2) Leave the family. I believe your friend is already an adult, she definitely has the capability to survive by her own. Get a job, or seek help from shelters temporarily.

3) Get some footage of the abuses. Report to police, let the authority handle her parents. They deserve some jail time.

Hope my suggestions above can give you some idea on how to help your friend, poor thing... By the way please be extra cautious if you sense a hint of suicidal thought from your friend.

Just wondering where do your friend stays? She can look for any established psychology centre.
I do know one psychology centre situated at Puchong where my gf intern there before, you can PM me if you need detailed info about that centre.

I suggest you to check with http://www.wao.org.my/ , an NGO named asa Pertubuhan Pertolongan Wanita. They might be able to guide you on seeking shelter for your friend.

It is lucky your friend managed to find you to cling on. You have saved your friend's live.
Then there is a greater need for her to seek help from psychology centre - at the very least they can help to minimize the suicidal thoughts.
