Ref: Kalau cuci jendela bahagian luar atau bekerja pada konstruksi bangunan yang tinggi hendaklah pakai “safety belt” atau tali untuk ikat pinggang yang dikaitkan pada tiang atau tembok etc yang bisa menjamin kalau terpeleset tidak jatuh dan mati konyol. Apakah keselematan bekerja tidak diberitahukan kepada TKI/TKW ? Ataukah nilai kehidupan warga NKRI tidak dianggap berharga oleh penguasa rezim Jakarta?

Singaporeans have been urged not to insist that their domestic workers clean the outside of windows in high-rise homes. Halimah Yacob, the Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports, said on Sunday that there was no need for the outside of windows to be cleaned if they were already clean on the inside. She was responding to reporters’ questions about the seven Indonesian maids who had fallen to their deaths so far this year while cleaning windows or hanging out the laundry. Speaking on the sidelines of a graduation ceremony for Indonesian domestic workers who had earned academic qualifications at the Indonesian School in Singapore, she called for maids to be barred from opening window grilles and for employers to keep the keys to these grilles from their maids. “They must constantly drum that into the maid’s head - that there’s no need for her to open the grilles, there’s no need for her to clean the outside of windows - and once they do that, they will be able to save a lot of lives,” she said. “It’s unnecessary death, and it’s really very sad.” Halimah, who has spoken out several times about the welfare of maids and foreign workers, noted that many foreign domestic workers here are from rural villages and thus unused to high-rise buildings. “Having to work in such high-rise buildings is quite a nightmare for them, so we need to take extra precautions to protect them, without compromising the standard and quality of work at home,” she said. She said she was pleased that the Ministry of Manpower was looking into the matter. MOM is improving a compulsory half-day safety-training class for newly arrived maids, which will be part of a new mandatory settling-in program for them. It has also said it will prosecute employers who fail to give their maids a safe work environment. “They want to make sure that these incidents are not repeated because, frankly, there’s no need for our domestic workers to fall to their deaths. We just need to take precautions, particularly on the part of employers,” Halimah said. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam.
