Maid shortage worsens with Cambodia running low [-Who would want to be M'sian maid and be abused?]

PETALING JAYA: Some 35,000 families are being forced to do a “huge balancing act” as the shortage of foreign maids turns critical with supply dwindling down to a trickle.

To add to the problem of Indonesia’s moratorium on maids, Cambodia is also facing difficulty in sending domestic helpers aged above 21.

Malaysian Association of Foreign Maid Agencies is urging the Government to seriously attend to this pressing matter and consider lowering the age limit of foreign maids to allow more maids in from Cambodia.


Parents are sacrificing quality time with their children as weekends are used to complete household chores.

Freelance agents are cashing in on the situation to offer “informal” ways of providing domestic help, including getting Indonesian maids into the country despite the freeze by the Indonesian government.

Are those Malaysian that lazy to do their own chores? 1 hour a day is enough to get everything done little by little gosh.
