Reducing the cost of hiring maids


I REFER to the report “Govt looking into hiring of Indonesian maids digitally, says PM” (The Star, Jan 9; online at https://bit.ly/3k71w6p), in which Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was quoted as saying that 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.

It is heartening to note this development.
