Maids are HUMAN too!

The issue of maids abuse are happening all around us, mainly Indonesian maids flee their cruel employers every year.

Most of the maids went over to Malaysia just to seek for a good opportunity of working environment, hoping to work for a caring and loving families. However, luck is not always on everyone's side. If one of the maid is lucky, she might be able to work with a good and understanding employer who might even treat her as their own family members!
Some of the good employers even buy new clothes for their maids, the maids need not spend a single cents of her own! I believe this is most of the maids' dream house!
On the other hand, some of the maids are being tortured during work time. Suffering from boiling water, torturing and starving for the whole day, the maids not even dare to utter a single complain towards their employers!
Some of the employers even took away the maids' handphone, hoping that the maids can fully concentrate on the works! No entertainment or leisure is given to them! they are being treated as a 24-7 "working machine". One of the case which brings up the concern of the society is the Indonesian maid, Siti Hajar, who is being anguish by her employer, a 43-year-old single mother. She is a Muslim, and yet her employer still fed her with Non-Muslim food, worst still gave her a plate of white rice as her meal!
In my opinion, maids do have feelings. If the employers continuously mistreat them, they might be hatred towards the employers. When the emotions couldn't hold back for any longer, the maids might do something bad just to protect themselves! for example, they might abuse the employers' kids exactly the same way as the employers did to them.
If we want someone to work for us within the house, we must pay some respect to them, treating them the way we want people to treat us!
It is especially common to hear that some of the maids are not allow to take any leaves within the year, even a day off are not allowed! It is actually against the the Article 24, Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which reads: "Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay."
It is absolutely true that none of us can endure a stressful work for a long period! a proper holiday should be given to them, or even bring the maids along whenever there is any family trips going on. This will be a great time to improve the relationship between the maids with the employer! The maids will definitely feel that they are being treated as part of the family members. In this case, they will for sure out perform their given task.
Keep it in mind that, be grateful to people who work for us, they are the person who make our life easy~

Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise to a maid! a simple word of "WELL DONE!", "I'm GLAD that you've REMEMBERED!" do mean something great to them!
