'Hire refugees as maids instead'


PETALING JAYA: Malaysian employers need not look further than home for their foreign maids. The refugee community in the country can provide a cheaper alternative source, supplying possibly over 20,000 maids.

Malaysian Maid Employers Association (Mama) president Engku Ahmad Fauzi Engku Muhsein said they plan to work with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) soon to come out with a win-win solution for both employers and the refugees.
