Forget other countries, get your maids from Terengganu

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu state government has come up with a programme to train single mothers to be turned into skilled domestic helpers.
The training, including childcare, to start next year will allow Malaysian families to source domestic help from their own backyard.
Terengganu is believed to be the state with most number of single mothers, at more than 20,000.
Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman
State Education, Higher Education, Human Resource, Science and Technology committee chairman Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said the state government has asked the Terengganu Skill Development Centre (Tesdec) to prepare the training module.
“Suggestions would also be given to Tesdec to acquire and emulate the training system of Indonesia and other neighbouring countries,” he said after opening an employment carnival at Gong Badak here on Tuesday.
For a start, the trained domestic helpers would be placed at homes in his constituency of Seberang Takir, Ahmad Razif said.
“This placement of domestic helpers at homes in Seberang Takir will be the pilot project, and it would expanded to all homes once fine-tuned,” he said.
Ahmad Razif said employers would also feel more relaxed knowing that their maids were locals and lived close to their homes.
“This would also help single mothers to continue being self reliant and to reduce their financial burden,” he said.
Ahmad Razif said the Terengganu government could help other states train their single mothers if the scheme proves effective here.
