Very soon, we will see this kind of job posting in major newspapers and recruitment web sites:
Qualification
- Must be Malaysian female
- Age 21 and above
Job Description
- RM1,000 - RM1,200 monthly salary
- 6 days week
- Optional overtime on Sunday
- Optional stay in package
- 8am - 7pm working hours
- Lunch and dinner provided
- To handle household chores
- To take care of baby and children
- To take care of elderly
Note:
To apply for a foreign maid nowadays, one got to pay close to RM10,000 up front, plus a monthly salary of RM650. There is a fee to renew the working permit at the second year, plus a flight ticket to send the maid back at the end of the contract period. There is also no guarantee on the maid quality, and unfair termination clause and run away maid policy for employer.
On Average, it cost more than RM900 / month to employ a foreign maid for a 24 months contract, why not go local? For family looking for a short term helper, it's far more cost effective. Assuming normal job contract, employer's interest is better protected. For job seekers, the package is much more appealing than a lot of other jobs out there. Why not?
The prediction by Corston-Smith Asset Management is becoming real. Read the article "Malaysia's next export: Maids?"
