maids in demand

The market forces decide how much a maid will cost. Nobody will expect the MoU signed by Indonesia and Malaysia will work. This is the political game. In the end Indonesia never enforces the agreement. Now we are back to square one. Our government now says that other countries are paying higher rates so Indonesia can't reduce the rate. Likewise when our government allowed toll rates they dont take the sentiments of the rakyat at all. Only when we protested and put up banners or what not then the government decided to change or review it again. The BN government has lost its creditability and its directions. Time for the government to reflect and search for the truth. The delivery system is still never improved. There will be more excuses in the coming months. Now the homeowners have to dish out more money for hiring maids. I should say our people should hire our own people with higher pay and benefits. The homeowner shouldnt treat domestic helpers as slaves. I have seen owners of maids behave differently towards their maids. They believe they have power over the domestic helpers. Come on people they are humans too. So we have seen why maids poisoned their employers or stole items and ran away........
