nothing to do - maids 5

Every one, has money to spend, wants to employ maids. It has become a norm now. What happen to the older generation? Leaving them in the cold storage. Look around. Business for the old people has become a hit with those young and well-to-do families. Put them in the old folks' homes so that one doesnt have to worry about so many things - sickness, time, listening to repeated stories...Time is for profit and not to waste it! Every conversation seems to be on money and how to find it. It has become a nightmare to the older generation. All children grow up, start their own families, and have no time to spend around. Whatever time there is money pursuit comes to mind. The social responsibility is disappearing fast. If they can utilize the older generation as maids then they shall be less problems in the family unit. These people have the knowledge and experience to look after young children. Cooking, I dont think so. The modern family has no time to cook. Early rise late home; the only food is bungus saja dikedai mamak atau kFC or the fast food cafe. Fast, easy, no cleaning. Just pay money everything is served. So easy! Then again employing maids arent easy too. Many hassles and forms to fill, doctor to visit and agent to discuss. Good maids or mad ones? Dont know really! Muslim couples must have muslim maids. Immigration rules! Just imagine that! If you are a muslim and you want a christian maid, your application is rejected. No answer is given for it. You want to pay but the immigration officials decide whom you can employ as maids. So it is fair? The government should be aware what the department is doing. I think the ministry is sleeping otherwise I dont hear so many criticisms in the immigration department.

I dont think there will be changes only more running around for the people
