Cambodia, Saudi Arabia sign MoU on maids

PHNOM PENH: Cambodia and Saudi Arabia on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding to begin work on opening a pipeline for Cambodians to work in the gulf nation, The Phnom Penh Post reported.

The Cooperation Agreement on the Recruitment of Domestic Workers and General Workers was signed by the two countries’ labour ministries on Thursday, Labour Ministry spokesman Heng Sour confirmed yesterday.

Samheng posted on Facebook on Feb 10: “This agreement will bring benefit both countries’ labour sectors. Our Cambodian people will have the opportunity to consider working there. The MoU will create legal rights protection for workers following national and international standards.”

The MoU, which has been in the works since 2014, is the first step in creating a legal avenue for Cambodian migrants to work in Saudi Arabia, where human rights groups have documented numerous cases of abuse of domestic workers from developing countries, including slave-like conditions, torture and killings.

In December, Cambodia signed an agreement to resume the legal flow of domestic workers to Malaysia, putting an end to a four-year ban introduced amid reports of serious migrant abuses, which had led to multiple deaths.

Many Cambodian families are dependent on money from relatives working abroad, with the World Bank estimating Cambodia’s total remittances doubled to $731 million last year.

More rape, murder and abuse stories sure to come out of Saudi, to be sure.

It's a free ride for a Saudi male ... thanks to Sharia ... God knew what he was doing when talking to Mohammed.

some males will get free rides, that's possible to happen, they are humans not angels, we agree that such things might happen, even morally and ethically is not really accepted to happen, but still possible to be, alright?

Now, do you have a prove about your accusation to blame Sharia of doing such filthy deeds?

What you trying to say is an absolute fallacy, if you taking the advantage to express your hate against Islam is just misguiding yourself pointlessly,
