Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudoyono has demanded a minimum wage of RM 800 for Indonesian maids. Currently the average wage for a new maid is RM 450 (The Sun headlines 19/5/2010), Maid deal soon (The Star headlines 19/5/10) and Memorandum signed between Prime Minister Najib Razak and President Susilo (NST 19/5/10 at page 6).Even the millions of foreign funded Tenaganita speaks for the Bangladeshi, Nepalis and all other foreign workers.
Who then speaks for the poor Indian workers who earn as low as RM 13.00 (RM 260 per month) as daily rated workers? PKR? DAP? PAS? UMNO?
And neither will this RM 13.00 per day be highlighted in The Star, Sun and New Straits Times, let alone the headlines as herein below attached!
