Malaysians struggling without foreign help at home

PETALING JAYA: With the government now banning entry of citizens of countries with more than 150,000 Covid-19 cases, families needing to hire maids for help at home are being put in queue, with some resorting to hiring those without permits.

This is especially so as the government previously announced a freeze on foreign workers’ intake in all sectors – except for construction, agriculture and plantation – until the end of the year.
