KUALA LUMPUR: It would be ideal if the recruitment fee to hire an Indonesian maid could be lower than RM15,000, but local maid agencies are doubtful that this can be achieved.Industry players responded sceptically to a statement by Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan that the cost to hire a maid from the Malaysian recruitment’s end would fall from RM9,000 to RM6,000 per maid.

Saravanan also foresees Indonesian recruitment counterparts lowering their current fees of RM4,000 to RM5,000 for each maid.

He believed the price of each Indonesian maid’s biodata was now expected to increase as costs had risen due to Covid-19 testing procedures. Tan called on Saravanan to give a clearer breakdown of the cost of hiring a maid, adding that there were two major parts to the process – the charges by the Indonesian recruitment agents and the fees imposed by the local maid hiring agencies.Tan said Saravanan could not simply announce that the cost of hiring a maid from the Malaysian side would fall from RM9,000 to RM6,000.

National Association of Human Resources Malaysia president Zarina Ismail was also doubtful that the recruitment fee could be lower than RM15,000. According to a source, there is a clause in the recently signed memorandum of understanding between Malaysia and Indonesia stating that any additional cost can still be added to the cost of hiring a domestic worker.
