‘New system protects boss and maid’

PETALING JAYA: The new direct hiring system for foreign maids contains an employment contract template for the protection of both employer and employee, said Immi­gration Department director-gene­ral Datuk Seri Mustafar Ali (pic).

He said although the agreement is made directly between employers and domestic helpers, without the involvement of agents, both parties still have to abide by the department’s regulations.
