Subject: Re: [ppiindia] Re: Refleksinya Keliru Tuh, Bung Ambon!
he..he..Anda memang pandai berkilah. Dari judul dan angle-nya sudah jelas
soal abusive maids, meskipun memang kasus abusing maids memang banyak
terjadi. Cuma refleksinya itu lho, bawa2 syariat Islam, tanah suci, mutu
kemanusiaan, kok jauuuuh banget dari angle yang ada. Kalau memang mau
ngomong topik itu, ya mending bikin artikel refleksi khusus soal itu. Bung
Ambon bisa dapat duit dan jadi orang terkenal lho, dan kita semua jadi bisa
tahu nama asli Anda.
Sudahlah, just my 2 cents

Semangatnya terlalu menggebu-gebu, malah ceroboh sendiri akhirnya! Ambon,
next time coba agak lebih teliti sedikit, jangan malu2in begini dong ah!

Anda kok nggak nyambung dengan artikel di bawah ini. Artikelnya kan tentang
"abusive maids" bukan "abusing maids", jadi artikel itu justru memaparkan
para majikan yang merasa dirugikan para pembantu mereka karena berbagai
alasan. Lalu apa hubungannya dengan ratusan ribu jemaat haji Indonesia dan
perlakukan tidak manusiawi terhadap TKW? Jangan-jangan karena kebanyakan
mem-forward artikel Anda jadi tidak sempat membaca semuanya? Atau Anda
punya
agenda lain?
Ambon <sea@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: REFLEKSI: Tiap tahun ratusan ribu jemaat
Indonesia pergi ke Arab Saudia untuk melakukan ibadah suci. Mereka kesana
karena Arab Saudia adalah Tanah Suci sesuai atauran agama. Di Tanah Suci
diberlakukan Syarat Islam yang umurnya sudah satu setengah abad lebih,
terbukti disana tidak terjamin keadilan kepada sesama mahluk manusia
cipataan Allah [sebagai contoh perlakuan terhadap TKW dalam artikel dibawah
ini]. Maka tibul pertanyaan apakah syarat Islam yang dipromosikan di
Indonesia akan lebih baik? Ancaran jawaban terhadap pertanyaan tsb ialah
paling tidak akan bernada bahwa bila Syarat Islam diberlakukan di Indonesia
akan sama sekali bukan saja tidak membawa faedah apa-apa kepada masyarakat
tetapi malah merugikan mutu kemanusian.
Bagaimana komentar Anda?

Govt Doing Little to Protect Us From Abusive Maids, Employers Say
Arab News
JEDDAH, 8 July 2006 - Cases of Asian maids running away and leaving their
employers in desperate situations seem to be a growing phenomenon. We tend
to hear many cases of maids being abused by their employers but at the same
time there are multiple cases of families themselves being abused and
treated inappropriately by their maids.
Recently, having only been in the Kingdom for two days an Asian maid ran
away from her sponsor's home. In another case one maid demanded her
employers send her back to her home country saying working, as a maid, was
not befitting her and in a third case a maid left her sponsor's house at a
critical time when the lady of the house had given birth just a few days
earlier.
According to Al-Watan newspaper, many Saudis complain that the Ministry of
Labor is doing very little to protect their rights as more and more maids
run away. Employers say that they end up losing considerable amounts of
money when the housemaids flee and are never compensated. It seems that as
soon as the workload increases and maids are asked to rub some extra elbow
grease into their work then the women bail out and abort ship.
In his search for a suitable trustworthy, polite and hardworking maid,
Rashed Abdul Rahman went abroad with his family. He thought he could find a
maid and also have a short break away from home. While on holiday they met
a
potential housemaid who they employed for a month to see how she worked.
Rashed and his family found the woman well behaved, hard working and
displaying good manners but as soon as the family brought the woman to
Riyadh she vanished into thin air.
Rashed was left heartbroken and upset. "She tricked us, she had it all
planned," he said.
A short time later the family received a call from the police saying that
the maid had been caught in Jeddah working as a housemaid in an illegal
network involving other runaway Asian housemaids. It turned out that the
ringleader was a man for whom the maid had worked in a brief stint a while
ago.
In a similar case, Muna Sulaiman, a working woman and mother of a
three-year-old, complained of her housemaid who ran away a week after her
brother's maid disappeared leaving her in a desperate situation of having
to
juggle household chores with work and children.
One Saudi mother, called Um Abdullah, said one day she found her
four-month-old daughter's head swollen and noticed the baby was having
problems breathing.
Um Abdullah and her husband became worried. They took the baby to hospital
to be told by a doctor that the girl had been hit in the head. Um
Abdullah's
husband was furious and rushed home to reprimand the maid only to find that
she was missing.
Many maids enter the Kingdom legally and then run away to work in lucrative
illegal networks to be paid up to SR1,200 a month.
Fawzieh Al-Bakr, a lecturer at King Saud University in Riyadh, said the
phenomenon of housemaids running away is dangerous to the community,
government and security resources. Fawzieh believes there is a sinister
network behind the phenomenon of maids running away. She says that three
years ago she herself was put in a difficult situation when her maid ran
away.
The Ministry of Social Affairs and police deal with the responsibility of
runaway maids at the Center for Maids Affairs. The center employs
receptionists to follow up complaints and a number of female workers
supervise detained maids and ensure the women are given food and shelter.
Most runaway maids are deported after all fines and payments that maids are
responsible for are paid in full. However, many employers complain that
they
are never compensated for the financial losses they incur in bringing maids
into the Kingdom.
According to the ministry most maids that the center deals with are women
who have fled within their first three months in the Kingdom. Many of the
maids complain that the living standards are poor in their sponsors' home;
some claim they have been mistreated and others say they are not paid
regularly.
With maids running away and many Saudis having to face the brunt of
financial losses it is perhaps time the government did something to
maintain
the rights of Saudi employers who are abused by their dishonest maids.
