Ban on Cambodian maids in Malaysia to be lifted
About 1,000 maids from Cambodia are expected to be available every month in once the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Malaysia and Cambodia on the matter is signed. The MoU, which is being finalised by both governments, would see the lifting of the ban on Cambodians to be employed as maids in Malaysia. The ban was imposed by the Cambodian government in October 2011 following reports of abuse by employers. … Ahmad Zahid said the hiring of the Cambodian maids would be on the government-to-government arrangement. He said there were about 30,000 Cambodian maids in the country before the ban was imposed. Each maid was paid a minimum salary of 600 ringgit (US$190) per month.
