Major Discoveries
Prevalence of Forced Labor
A 2023 report by the International Labour Organization found that nearly 29% of migrant domestic workers in Malaysia endure labor abuse. Common indicators include unpaid overtime, limited freedom, and excessive working hours.
Lack of Rest Days
The new report "My Employer Never Saw A Calendar" reveals that around 95% of migrant domestic workers in Malaysia don't receive weekly rest days. Almost half (43%) labor seven days a week, and 41% are given just infrequent time off.
Legal and Policy Developments
Recruitment Cost Regulations
In late 2023, Malaysia’s Human Resources Ministry set the fee ceiling at RM15,000 for new Indonesian domestic workers. Employers are required to use official channels like SMO and SIPERMIT platform, managed by the Indonesian Embassy.
Advocacy for Legal Protection
NGOs like PERTIMIG are vigorously pushing for adding domestic workers under Malaysia’s Employment Act. Their mission is to protect rights such as regulated working hours, mandatory rest days, and social security.
Empowerment Through Social Media
Domestic workers increasingly turn to Facebook to seek support and learn about their rights. Groups like PERTIMIG offer virtual workshops in financial literacy, language skills, and confidence building.
Enforcement Actions
In Q4 2024, Malaysia’s Immigration Department rescued five foreign domestic workers from exploitation in Klang. The operation hit an unregistered maid agent involved in forced employment.
Final Thoughts
The situation of domestic workers in Malaysia demonstrates an immediate need for comprehensive reforms, better regulation, and sustainable support. Protecting workers through education and legal means is essential for ensuring their protection and well-being.
