Kuala Lumpur (ANTARA News) -- Maid recruitment agencies may have to wait longer before they can bring in maids as the Malaysia-Indonesia joint working group meeting on maids has been postponed to the end of August.
Human Resources Minister Dr S. Subramaniam said the decision whether the freeze would be lifted would only be made by the Indonesian government based on the results of the meeting.
He said the meeting was supposed to be held on July 15 but postponed to the end of next month at Indonesia`s request.
"I believe it will produce positive results for both countries," he told reporters here Thursday.
Indonesian Labour and Transmigration Minister Dr Erman Suparno was reported as saying that Indonesia may lift the freeze (enforced on June 25) should the joint working group meeting produce positive results.
On maid contracts, Subramaniam said foreign workers should be given contracts as wages had been one of the sore points in workers and employers` relations.
"The ministry will introduce measures to improve the contract and wage systems to minimize disputes and satisfy both parties," he added.(*)
