该不该让中国女人前来当女佣?
自从国内事务部长宣布政府考虑让中国女人来大马当女佣之后,国内一些政党的妇女组和华裔妇女团体便纷纷对政府此举表示关注,她们担心政府这项政策的开放会破坏许多幸福的婚姻和家庭。 其实,在国内事务部长作出这项宣布之的两年前,砂拉越数个妇女团体已经要求政府禁止中国女郎进入马来西亚,因为许多中国女郎藉旅游签证和学生签证之名,在砂拉越作二奶,破坏许多家庭的幸福。此外,数年前,沙登一带的妇女团体也曾针对中国女郎破坏许多该区家庭的幸福,发出怒吼。 虽然,副国内事务部长陈财和已经澄清说,政府将为入口的中国女佣设下严格的准绳, 这包括申请女佣签证者必须是40岁以上和必须是回教徒;但是,只要你有机会与一些前来我国工作的中国人交流,你肯定发现中国某些移民事务局的制度蛮松散,这一切护照和签证的资料其实是很容易更改的。 据我所知,国内事务部长拉西在该部门掌权不久后,便有意开放门户,让中国女人来我国当家庭女佣。当时,他曾私下对笔者和数位国会议员说,他听说中国40岁以上的成熟妇女比较靠得住,如果她们出国工作的话,那么她们是纯为赚钱而认真工作,而不会“胡来”。
