After\u00a0working for us for\u00a02 weeks, my temp Indon maid’s performance is still good.\u00a0 My maid agent met up with me yesterday and I have confirmed with him that I will be absorbing this maid as my permanent maid.\u00a0 In total, we will have to\u00a0pay a\u00a0whopping\u00a0RM9k,\u00a0which comprises of\u00a0agency fee (RM3,600), 6 months’ advance salary for the maid @ RM500 per month, levy, medical and RM800 per month for 2.5 months for hiring a temp maid!\u00a0 My hubby’s jaw almost dropped when I told him he still has to pay an outstanding\u00a0amount of close to RM6k to the agent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was informed by my maid agent that the agency fee will further increase soon.\u00a0\u00a0Hopefully my maid will continue to be good and will agree to extend her service with us for another 2 years\u00a0 so that we can save on the agency fee in future.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I am planning to do away with\u00a0a live-in\u00a0maid when my 3rd child turns 4 yo.\u00a0\u00a0 Hiring a maid is\u00a0incredibly\u00a0costly now and most of the time, the quality of the maids supplied to us is really below expectations and acceptable standards.\u00a0 Most of the capable and good maids are already creamed off by employers in other countries like Singapore, Hong Kong and\u00a0Taiwan.\u00a0 These maids are also paid handsomely in these countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
