Latest changes implemented on employing of FDW by MOM

It’s not that we are daft its because we don’t have database of maid who wants to work here. Nobody wants to pay extra and still get lousy maids. If gov’t were to step in to help us gather the database from the other country we can always arrange direct hire ourselves. It a simple procedure. We need the agent because they hold the database, that’s why they can hold us ransom.

What has the database of maids got to do with the profiteering attitude of the maid agents?

Don't think anybody has got a database of maids wishing to work here. Not even the govt.

Daft because we allow the maid agents to \"anyhow\" set a margin that they feel like, and daft because we do not do anything about it but just complain.

So what is your recommendation then?

But I don't think we can do much thing to make the agent lowering their fees and earn lesser profits? You mean we can really do something?

Surely if you believe that Singaporeans are not daft, there should be many recommendations on what can be done isn't it?

[stsl]

But there must have \"somebody\" like or willing to hear our recommendations first, otherwise, no use.

[/quote]Looks like we are now trying to trace to the source of the problem.
Who will this \"someone\" who has the power and influence to help maid employers?
