The ‘maid’ joke was on me

AFTER waiting for months, border and pandemic restrictions were relaxed in both Malaysia and Indonesia and my maid could finally go on home leave.

It was early May and when I checked the travel guidelines and requirements by both governments, it seemed all I had to do was to upload the MySejahtera app as well as its Indonesian equivalent, Pedulilindungi, on her mobile phone. And she had to take the PCR test 48 hours before departure.
