PUTRAJAYA: Malaysian employers may have to pay between RM10,000 and RM15,000 – and not up to RM25,000 – to hire domestic helpers from Indonesia as both governments agree that there must be some control over the cost, says Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.

The Human Resource Minister said the cost would include various levies and fees as well as for up to 14 days of quarantine.
