Chinese Maids, anyone?

Following the news of several high profile cases in which Indonesian maids were abused by their Malaysian employers, Jakarta threatens to prohibit its women from working as domestic servants in this country. Since then, there have been proposals by Malaysian officers to import maids from China as replacement.

Maids from China? Are you kidding!?? How can the women from the world’s new super power work as domestic servants in a third world country? This is utterly ridiculous!


Imagine what will happen if Chinese maids are abused in Malaysia:

The angry Chinese netizens would call for boycott of the department stores run by Malaysia-based Parkson Group, just as they did against French Carrefour last year. Chinese tourists would stop coming to this country. Our economy would suffer


Seriously, I am not in favor of the plan to hire Chinese maids. We must be careful to avoid angering the Dragon.

P/S I prefer Japanese maids How about you?

    It's the attitude of the employers that needs to be changed.

    The samurai will only come after the abusive employer, not the whole nation.

    Agree that employers need to change their mindset.

    The Japanese maid shown actually wears a French outfit.

  8. I don't want to be a French maid there! :D

    More seriously, to go work as a maid in a foreign country, you must make more than you would at home, otherwise there is no point. Would Chinese maid make more in Malaysia??

  9. it doesnt matter if the maids are from indonesia, the philippines or china (or ehem, japan). we have to take care of them like us.

    we wont like if we malaysians are ill treated in overseas too.

    so far, ive been seeing lots of anger coming from our neighbouring country indonesia, because of what these people have done. its a shame.

    I suppose the would-be maids come from the poorest regions of China. Anyway they still cost more than their Indonesian counterparts.

    The problem is: Malaysian employers treat their maids as properties.

    No this is not dreaming. You'll be served by Japanese 'maids' when you step into a 'maid cafe' in Japan.
