Maid is a Rare Commodity

No longer available

The ubiquitous maid seen about two decades ago is fast becoming a rarity in Malaysia.

It is not really an issue of wages per se but more of availability.

No More at your beck and call

Not only are they asking for more money but the alleged mistreatment that has been taking place in Malaysia has been a factor why the Indonesian government is reluctant to send them over here.

Almost double to triple

Today there are more jobs in Indonesia and they pay well too.

Again compared to Malaysia, Indonesian maids get paid better in Singapore , Hong Kong and in the Middle-east.

So, Malaysians must now bite the bullet and pay for local part-time help and forget of having that  luxury of a live-in maid at their beck and call.
