TAIPING, July 26 -- The decision whether the government will allow the entry of housemaids from China into the country will depend on the agreement from everyone who has interests in the matter, said the Minister of Human Resources, Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam.On whether foreign maids would be sourced from China, he said the matter had cropped up on previous occasions but could not be carried out due to protests from various quarters.
“Wanita MCA has also informed me that it is not in favour
He said so far the government had not made any decision on the suggestion made by the Malaysian Association for Foreign Housemaid Agencies (PAPA), adding that there were quarters that had opposed the suggestion.
"We have not made any decision but there is a possibility that we will open the door to other countries to supply their nationals as housemaids in this country," he said at a function here Sunday.
PAPA president Datuk Raja Zulkepley Dahalan had said on June 23 that the move would ease the dependency of Chinese employers in the country on housemaids from Indonesia and at the same time minimise the problems of abuse against the housemaids due to the problems of language, culture and religion.
tunku : if it is convenience and cheaper for us to have maid from China,then we should bring them.why we have to follow the wish of Wanita MCA ?we should outsource from other countries too.india,china etc can be our new source of getting maids,language can be taught. filipino maids are too expensive and the indonesian maid agencies are killing us with their service charges yet no guarantee of the maid.

you are forgetting that Wanita MCA is the cream of the crops, the golden child and Najib likes liberalisme in maid industry too. If it was Wanita UMNO asking for it, kementerian would certainly ask shahrizat to sacrifice for the benefit of the rakyat.
This one sure jadi becos NYY aka Tourism in charge, singing the the same song whenshe was deputy under S kadir. name of the song "china girl "chien tourism.
latest news: she ask all to punlicise the the names of the popoluar spots, to the chinese tourists(again), for example Jalan Pasar Pudu,Pulau Ketam,Ipoh Tiger lane.
PRC is the richest nation in the world with 2.3TRILLION US$ of reserves ,and 70 % in US T BILLS.
PRC has 1.3 billion population and becos of selective birth policies and practice is lopsideded male to femail ratio.
So on the plus side Minsiniter of labour and man power Subramaniam taking easy solution and ez maths.
1.3 billion and 50 % are femail.
from 750 million we have potential supply of say 1%, he has 7,500,000 potential maids.
Malaysia popolation of 25 million(excluding foreigners) can chose to rotate femail maids every 3 months.
Or we can displace the 3.2 million resident foreigners with fresh source of workers in all sectors.
Dont ask Sharizat anything, tok whenonly some poor maid get scalde.
NYY is the best source for decisions
Mah Ngah Tong.
there are many Muslim chinese in Shing Chang...Why not? if one family can save few hundred a month, why not.? We must show indon, we too have a choice..
tak paham ape anon 2 cakap..english broken sangat..lol
Wanita MCA do not worry. They will only allow maids from China over the age of 45 to work in Malaysia. Happy now!Ramalx
liberalise the maid industry
if the price is right, the demand will be there
ada la nanti satu rumah sampai 5 maid ... ke maid aka gundek ... tambah pulak yg muda2 gebu2 ..
cina tak nk ambik maid dr china sb dorg x sanggup nk perlakukan maid ni macam yg dorg buat pada maid islam dr indonesia..betul x? malulah nk memerah, mendera saudara sendiri instead of dorg punya alasan maid dr china ni boleh merosakan institusi kekeluargaan..
yang nyata dan terang china lah yg rasist..
Minster of HR move over,tourism misnsiter more effeiceneint in China maids affair.
With target of 1,000,0000 tourist from China by end of this year,no need all hassle of supply problems and cost as they can come on profit sharing 70:30.
(50 %)500,000 will be women tourists.
10 % of them are maid age and quality.
No cost to the employers(ahem)
They can replace all the current legal and illegal maids,shop helpers,warong helpers,dish washers,amahs,baby sitters,dog exercisers,servants,errand persons etc.
Should relocate the Work permit functions and visa approvals to Minter of Tourism.
Mah Ngah Tong.
