I have been reading the posts here… Sad to say, employers are now left at the mercy of maids and employment agencies.



Yes, if there are such insurance I would gladly sign up for it! It’s time the G does something to protect us employers when the maids want to go home on their own accord and when they simply want a transfer to another employer who reportedly offered her a higher pay! And pls shut down those pesky agents who target maids who are already working here by tempting them with higher pay and shorter working hours! Unscrupulous! And to ang MOHs out there, pls don’t spoil market and offer salary of $700-$750! Any maid upon hearing it will of course jump ship at the expense of the employer, leaving them high and dry… ( Good Comments )

KUALA LUMPUR – Indonesia will stop sending its people abroad to work as maids by 2017, said Indonesian consul-general in Kuching Djoko Harjanto.


“The Manpower Ministry had made a statement about this. Not only no more export of domestic helpers to Malaysia – to everywhere,” he was reported as saying in The Borneo Post at his Hari Raya open house in Kuching on Thursday (Aug 8).



He pointed out that there was a decrease in Indonesian workers in Kuching compared to previous years. There are now about 100,000 to 200,000 Indonesia workers in Sarawak, with most in oil palm estates.

“This is because in Indonesia, there will be more oil palm plantations. They also need workers. Last time it was hard to find a job there so many came here to work,” he said.

He noted that while the malaysian government had fixed the minium wages of RM800, some employers still did not heed the directive and shortchanged their employees.

“When they come here to work, they want to bring home money. If not, they’d rather stay and work in Indonesia.”

Harjanto said the harvest of oil palm has increased in Pontianak, West Kalimantan and it is being exported to Sarawak but the decrease in its price was not so promising.

In his Hari Raya message, he also urged the Indonesian community in Kuching to stay free from crime and that the consulate will look out for them. THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER

It is not easy to find a great relationship today, but if you are in a good relationship already or are looking to find a wonderful relationship, it is better to know something about men. It is well known men are different from women and once women know what those differences are they can work around those. If you have not read the book \"Self-Made Man\" by Norah Vincent, then the book has top ten principles for women to develop a strong relationship with their partner, whether it be you boyfriend, husband, or just a friend.
