Maids...

Malaysian was facing a shortage of Indonesian maid because both country cannot come to an agreement. Lately the agreement was signed, according to the news, maids will be arriving in 2weeks time, and it cost very much cheaper, I was shock, that was even cheapest than 3yrs ago. So I did a check with a friend who it in the foreign manpower establishment. Well, it was all not true the Rm4000.00+ was not even enough for the head hunter from Indonesian and what about the agent in Batam and the agent in Malaysia? Conclusion still no maid.....very misleading. Why Indonesian Maid, some might ask? Because, there will be no language problem for us, because we share almost the same language. So...Cambodian Maid is the consolation, they are just as good only communication problem and they learn fast, shortage too at the moment. Why I am saying all these, because I was quite stress about a month ago when my super maid decided that she wanted to go home after 3yrs with me her contract end in October 2011, that mean I have to look for new maid, after a check and so..... it will cost me RM10090.00, for a new maid, can you believe it? Anyway, after a while she decided to stay for another year......phew!! it's a great relief for me, also for her because it's not easy for her to reenter Malaysia due to the incomplete agreement. Hopfully she carry on year after year after year......hahaha....
