JAKARTA: The Home and Human Resources Ministries will be tasked to look at the implementation of hiring domestic helpers from Indonesia digitally to reduce dependency on agents, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"I told the President, it isn't just the system, but it involves hiring those from other countries as well, like Bangladesh.Local employers have previously urged the government to find ways for a smoother recruitment process of acquiring workers from the neighbouring country.

Asked if the government would review the terms of the current memorandum of understanding on the placement and protection of Indonesian domestic workers in Malaysia, the Prime Minister said he was confident that the matter can be resolved without doing so. "I am confident that it can be solved, with commitment and political will... I even brought two ministers here with me," he said.Anwar was accompanied by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

On March 31, Malaysia and Indonesia signed an MOU on the recruitment and protection of Indonesian domestic helpers in Malaysia. The MOU was aimed at ensuring that all recruitment processes and protection mechanisms for Indonesian domestic helpers are implemented in a comprehensive manner by the relevant parties, in accordance with the policies and laws of both countries.

next is to have them working in the metaverse

Any other way of solving the problems...by not having indon / maid..

The agents had plentiful of stocks inconspicuously and they can manipulate its availability hence whatever you do and did, you can't outfox them... It's futile efforts and proposal and its costs of hiring may upsurge wantonly...

Agents both here and in Indonesia would never allow this to happen. At least,not without a tough fight.
