MUADZAM SHAH - The door will be open for more domestic helpers to come in from Cambodia and Thailand as an alternative to Indonesians by year-end.
Deputy Human Resources Minister Senator Datuk Maznah Mazlan, who said this, added that she would visit both countries next month as part of the Government's efforts to source for domestic workers and to simplify procedures to bring them in.
"All these years, Malaysia has been relying too heavily on one or two countries for domestic helpers. This caused various problems and difficulties when there is friction with those countries.
"As such, we felt it was high time the Government initiate efforts to explore and source maids from countries such as Cambodia, Thai land, India, Sri Lanka and Myanmar," she said at her Hari Raya open house in Bandar Muadzam Shah here yesterday.
