MAIDS AT WHAT PRICE?

If you want to hire Indian maids from India, you must go there yourself to hire your maids. There is no middleman involved. You must also agree to pay $1,200/- a month and a bank guarantee of $9,000/- deposited to the local Indian High Commissioner's office. The Indian Government knows how Malaysians want to get maids in their households. The demand is huge so they can up the price. Indonesian maids can be had for $500/- a month but you have to pay for the middleman fees here and in Indonesia. Why can't the government fix an amount for the local people to work as maids? Maybe like $1,000/- a month. The maids have to do all sorts of work in the house. Get up early in the morning starting doing her chores non-stop until late at night. Sometimes no leave at all...................sometimes get abusing employers. All the local maids must be governed by the Employment Act 1955. In this way I think more locals will take up the job. Currrently locals arent interested because of low pay and long hours of work.
