| 总结: | This research aims to understand and examine profoundly on the issue of foreign
domestic workers abuse in Malaysia. This research focuses on foreign domestic
workers from Indonesia who come working in this country. Besides that, this research
aims to identify factors of this abuse and scrutinize measures that have been taken and
need to be taken by government to overcome this issue. To accomplish this research,
the writer refers to previous researchers and takes references from the library and
internet to obtain information needed and related to this topic. The result of this
research shows that government has been playing vital roles in framing steps to
eradicate this problem. One of the steps is by forming Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) agreement that aims to preserve the rights of employee and employer. Some
other bodies also strive to help government. Such bodies are Women's Aid
Association and Human Right Watch. Malaysian Immigration Department also
disposes steps and update procedures in connection with the intake of foreign
domestic workers. Actually, Malaysia does not have specific act relating to it. The
provision in Employment Act 1955 does not provide for the protection for foreign
domestic workers. Therefore government needs to enact a specific provision for
foreign domestic workers to avoid this problem from happening in future. |
