Minimum wage for maids not part of MOU


Changes to come: An Indonesian maid doing her chores at a house in the Klang Valley. The MOU will include, among others, a ban on withholding passports.

PETALING JAYA: The new minimum wage of RM1,500 will not be included in the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Malaysia and Indonesia for the recruitment and placement of Indonesian domestic workers.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan didn’t elaborate on the matter, as he answered with a simple “no” when asked if the minimum pay would be part of the MOU.
