cdnvic Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Ministry plans ‘maid miracle’ Published on December 23, 2005 The Labour Ministry is to help local employers by training and supplying high-quality maids from early next year, Minister Somsak Thepsuthin said yesterday. The “maid miracle”, as the programme is called, aims to produce maids who can answer phones, handle queries, and serve drinks and meals. It is part of a bid to lighten the burden on employers, Somsak said. The programme comes in response to modern social needs, especially in Bangkok, where there are children and elderly people in need of care. Well-trained maids would be very useful, he said. Untrained maids were prone to quit after a few months of work, he said, and were often a headache for their employers, rather than a help with domestic work. “I haven’t set a target for the number of maids to be trained, but I intend to produce the greatest number possible,” the minister said. Somsak said he talked with Mingkwan Saengsuwan, head of the Mass Communications Organisation of Thailand, about running commercials on Channel 9 television before New Year’s Day to promote the programme.

stumonster Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 maid in 30 days apparently , even though most of the women ( i doubt if they intend to accept men ) would have spent their formative years in training at home looking after their elders. and I really cannot see them replacing the 1500baht a month illegal burmese/lao immigrants. minimum wage for maids - I doubt it.

Ijustwannateach Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 And yet another coffee-table conversational whim comes to us plebes as a "project," "plan," or "policy." Gee, let's train better maids 'cause we MPs have such a hard time finding good help! They may even manage to find some public money to help them in this well-deserved goal of theirs.
