Agencies call for government to lift foreign maid blockade


JOHOR BARU: Maid agencies here are hoping the government will allow foreign maids back into the country soon to clear their huge backlog of bookings for domestic helpers.

An owner of a maid agency in Skudai, who wanted to be known as Foo, said since the first movement control order and border closures on March 18 last year, agencies had not been able to bring in any new maids into Malaysia.
