Maid in malaysia - an apology.

-->

Indonesians do have some basis to be sore at Malaysians. Pushing aside other issues, the news of one of their citizens being abused by other individuals would surely make them angry. 

 I am talking about the frequent news of maltreatments metered out to the Indonesian maids, by some narrow-minded employers. 

Not to indulge too much into the various disgusting treatments the maids receive, here is the problem. The employers think just because they are paying a few hundred ringgits for the maids’ services, they can treat them as they want. And that, they must get back the amount of services, befitting the sum that have spent. 

Does that mean washing the cars, tending to the gardens, climbing up the ladders to clean up the fans and bulbs? 

When one mentions ‘maid’ the first thing that comes to the mind is a woman doing the cooking, cleaning up the house, washing the clothes, tending to the children, or the aged, and other domestic tasks befitting a woman. Not washing cars and climbing up ladders! The employers must realize that the maids are not slaves and will never belong to them. Neither, are they some robots they can own. 

 Luckily, though, the majority of the Malaysians do not have such brainless mentality. We, sincerely, apologize for the idiotic few that have this rotten mentality.
