Bangladesh to send 45,000 maids to Singapore

Singapore will recruit 45,000 Bangladeshi domestic workers in a boost for the impoverished country's labour export sector after jobs dried up in the Middle East and elsewhere in Asia, an official said Sunday.

Singaporean recruiting firms agreed on the number following talks in Dhaka last week, director of the government's Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET) Nurul Islam told AFP.

"They want some 45,000 maids in a year. We shall train the maids and start sending them to Singapore by the end of this year," Islam said.

"It's a very good news for us. It comes as our traditional markets such as the Middle Eastern countries and Malaysia have yet to ride out the impact of the global recession."

The global downturn affected jobs for Bangladeshi workers in the construction and manufacturing sectors in the Persian Gulf.

According to the BMET, Bangladesh sent 202,000 workers abroad in the first half of 2010 -- the lowest in four years.

Bangladeshi workers can find potential partners here thus no need to date our PRC girls.

Good news to Bangladeshi workers here but bad news to Sillyporean

More horror stories will follow

1. Ill treatment / feeding sh*t to innocent toddlers at home.
2. Ill treatment of the elderly at home.
3. Crimes of passion ( rape , too many lovers fighting over the same maid , murder )
4. Rise of illegal sex trade.
5. Can you actually ask a Blangadesh to cook pork chop for your kid ?

and of course , much more social problems than I anticipated :p

its quite obvious that more social & domestic problems will take place, when sinkies hire a stranger to dwell in their homes. if the maid says they're not permitted to touch pork, will the employers need to convert to be make their home kitchen halal? will the employers find it acceptable that the maid chooses to sebok their kids/elderly at home? will the employers find it acceptable that their daily diet converts to be curry & flour based staples?
