Aggressive Maids in Malaysia
Maids are indeed are indeed
popular because of their issues nowadays. Babies were abused and most of the
cases were fatal. Maids employed by Malays are mostly Indonesian whereas the
Chinese and Indians could employ Vietnamese, Burmese or Indonesian. These three
types of citizens are mostly the popular among all of the maids but the most problematic
is the Indonesian maids.
The latest case of child abuse
by the maids was the baby was slapped and dump from the back of maid to the
tile. The employers were Malays and the maid was Indonesian citizen. The baby
was traumatized and thank god it was not fatal. After investigation, the maid
was found guilty and surprisingly, the hospital report shows that the maid is
emotionally unbalanced. First thing that keep buzzing my heart is, how can the
Indonesian government allow such worker to work out of their country especially
as maid? Were there any thorough procedure or they just send their civilian in
order to reduce their population in the country? The video captures by the CCTV
in the house has proved the maid was intentionally abused by the maid.
The baby was 4-month-old at the
time he was abused, and the maid was 24 years old. The incident is considered
as lucky to me since the parents noticed the action at 7.45 am in the morning
while eating breakfast at a stall. There were more unfortunate incidents where
the babies were not able to survive the injuries, mostly internal injuries.
However, the Indonesia government keeps pursuing their maids’ salary up to one
salary per job, which is for me personally, unrealistic! Plus with the mess
caused by their citizens, the salary is still way too expensive.
In a nutshell, the Indonesian
government should take this issue into account since this could be really
tangled if it is not taken care thoroughly. If their party provides us with
good services, the rising salary could be adjusted, vice versa. So, it will all
be equal and we can preserve our good relationship with each other since we are
indeed, a neighbor and interdependent with each other.
