The Malaysian NGO domestic worker rights organization Tenaganita has recently urged stronger safeguards for domestic workers in Malaysia.
This follows a recent case in Subang Jaya where a case of abuse was reported, leading to a quick response from law enforcement and diplomats.

While the fast action was acknowledged, Tenaganita stressed that Malaysia needs comprehensive laws to prevent abuse and exploitation from happening in the first place.

## Why Domestic Worker Protections Matter
Domestic workers in Malaysia, many of whom come from the Philippines, often face challenges such as:
- Unpaid wages
- Long working hours without proper rest
- Poor living conditions
- loss of legal documents

Without clear laws and oversight, these workers remain exposed to exploitation.

## The Role of Licensed Maid Agencies
Tenaganita emphasized that employers should only hire through licensed maid agencies. Such agencies ensure:
- Compliance with Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR)
- Transparent recruitment processes and fair placement fees
- Contracts that safeguard both both parties
- Aftercare services in case of disputes

## Moving Forward: A Safer Future for Domestic Helpers
As Malaysia’s demand for household workers continues to grow, NGOs like Tenaganita remind us that worker protections must be a priority. Employers, agencies, Edlerly Taker and the government need to work together to build a responsible industry.

Ultimately, the rights of domestic workers should not only be seen as a regulation, but also as a human commitment.
