"PEMBERSIHAN KORUPSI"

Dear valued Clients, Friends and Guests,

I received a call from my Indonesian Counterpart today informing that the Indonesian Immigration Department is undergoing "PEMBERSIHAN KORUPSI" program...NOT sure what transpired during this time but definitely the exercise will slow down the whole process of new passport application.

Insyallah if time permits and with the availability of some info, I will draw the step by step processes (at Indonesian side) so that all of you will understand better what contributes to the delay of obtaining housemaid biodata..etc. Same thing goes to the housemaid arrival.

I'm taking this opportunity to inform that the process of recruiting new housemaid will slow down a bit, now that the holy month of Ramadhan is fast approaching, hence, Tenaga Kerja Wanita (TKW)will prefer to register after Syawal. Furthermore, if you are urgently in need of a housemaid, August is such a "bad timing" to ask for one. Experience showed that the demand for housemaid will be at its peak during :

- 1 month before Ramadhan (Employers normally resort to sending their maids for good instead of giving them 1-2 months break - high risk)
- 1 month after Syawal (those who promised to return after Raya break ended up leaving for good)
- August (many employers recruit/legalise their housemaids during the last legalisation practise (PEMUTIHAN)back in August 2001)...mine included

So plan your time well so that you will not get stuck with "domestic" problem during Ramadhan (...so stressful..I know..)

HOUSEMAID ARRIVAL AT LCCT, SEPANG

Dear valued Clients, Friends and Guests,

I was at the LCCT, Sepang yesterday to send off my eldest son who's leaving back to his school at M*S*A, Kok Lanas, Kelantan. He came back for a short 3 days (monthly)break. It was never easy for me coz I hate Goodbyes...sob..sob..sob..

Yours truly with baby Asiff Daniel at LCCT

While waiting for my husband to fetch our car (the traffic was soooo packed with limited parking space while extension of the airport is underway) I managed to snap some photos that might help to visualise where exactly you should be heading to during maid's arrival.Check this out.



For full procedure during housemaid arrival, please refer below :


Hope this will make your life easier. Oh by the way, an old friend/Client went to fetch his maid early this year and this is what he has to say (in his own words) :

" Leha, kau bagitau semua client kau, jangan pakai selipar kalau nak pegi ambik maid kat LCCT, aku dah kena, aku pakai sandal, "dia" halau aku tak boleh masuk. Baju pun kena pakai smart tak boleh selekeh. Kelam kabut aku. Last2 suruh bini aku ambik, dia nak surat nikah pulak. Aku kena tulis surat wakil pada bini aku. Almost midnite baru settle..."

So to those who are reading this, do what you have to do. Get all documents ready and wear decent clothing (smart casual), insyallah, everything will go easy for you.
