weekly off day for malaysian maid...

The Human resources minister has suggested to enforce a weekly once off-day for domestic maid working in Malaysia. Today's paper carries views from the employers - majority disagreed with their own - perhaps valid reasons...

First and foremost , dealing with maids are not easy... especially the worker-employer gender is the same - female... I am not saying all but majority are difficult to manage...

As employer , please treat maid with some respect. Like :-

a. assigned specific jobs for them ; like you employ a clerk in your office you have job discription right? ..i have seen maid - doing house work ,washing cars,lorries and van .. attending the the employer's kids and also the husband's need??

b. do not ask your maid to work in your relative or friend's house whenever you visit them...

c. talk to them and understand their need and requirement - respect their privacy

d. do not over pamper your maid - draw a line BUT no slavery treatment

e. A one day off - can be even in your house - let her relax....

think about it!!

MINISTER NAZRI BETTER KNOW THE MEANING OF MERIT

Last night parliment debate and today's news report says that Minister in charge of parliment affairs YB Nazri has declared that there wasnt any special selection for government scholarship for the 20% of the app 2000 awards allocated based on merit.

He further claimed that non-Bumi gain more than the Bumi - not really relevant - if its merit ;means merit - we [people] will take it without any discriminative thinking because its MERIT.

20% from the total is only 40 awards ; leaving 1600 on what merit?? , God knows!

One wonder - if the selection is on merit there is no issue of criteria ; every Malaysian is clear about it , the question is how the balance 1600 is given out - where is the transperancy?
YOU cannot give out award to crony and nominee of political leaders ...

NOTHING CHANGE for the party....

when your time is UP

I told many of my friends that TUN M is 'merajuk' with LKY 's visit to Malaysia. The Mentor Minister is on a week long stay in our country and he has met BN,and PR leaders ..

I guess he has other agenda besides his nostalgic tour to some places in our country. LKY is here to talk business too. Tun M and Tun AB cannot blame the najib government for not allowing them to do a similar visit to foreign nations on behalf of the country... LKY upon his retirement has accepted the more junior post as a cabinet minister and has been working as a cabinet member till today ... so there is a different between our ex-PM and Singapore's ex PM ... so people too do not have to be concerned about the role of our ex Pms ... one must still work hard .....

Perak Sultan: Don't question bumiputera rights to scholarship...news appeared in The Star webnews today.

Tun VT ... you are no different..... what the sultan says ' is in the consti... betrayal .

news not good for economy

Mega scandal - ..After two days of inquiry, parliament's Public AccountsCommittee (PAC) will meet the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)next week to discuss the controversial Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.

crimes are committed by individual entrusted by people. The government should stop allocating post and projects to political parties - cronies ; Port Klang Free Zone looks like being run by MCA for BN? this perception need to be addressed and the culprit be punished - here or in HELL ...lets pray to God.
