Labor exporting countries should start talking to one another about all this. If the OPEC can practically hold the world hostage...

Still this is a supply and demand market. If people could not afford a maid there will be less demand for them and more demand on their quality. The maids are so popular here because they are cheap. There are no other significant factors justifying the demand (maybe except some cultural inertia). Likely a double edged sword situation.

If the gahmen has anything to worry about next GE, this will be the issue to unite the people behind the opposition.. "We want our cheap domestic helpers!!"

These people. Only supporting whichever cause that is the most convenient and that can provide 'short-term/immediate' satisfaction...

I will not be surprised if the voters swing their votes like Tarzan when this issue gets heralded.
