Laws to be amended to enhance protection for domestic workers

Human Resources Minister M Kula Segaran says the bills are scheduled to be tabled in the July meeting of the Dewan Rakyat.

“We are going to put in the regulations now, then we are going to have a standalone Act for maids,” he said. The employer, Ambika Shan, 61, had been charged with murder but was granted a full acquittal by the High Court last week after the prosecution requested a discharge not amounting to an acquittal.

Asked for specifics, Kula Segaran said: “We don’t want to go into the mechanics but there will be a lot of safeguards for the maids.” Kula Segaran said his “greatest sadness” was not being able to move the amendments to these Acts in the previous meeting of Parliament. This was because it was not easy getting relevant stakeholders’ feedback.
