PMA maid agency review

Dear all,

This is for public awareness so others do not fall victim to unscrupulous maid agencies & the challenges involving non-compliance of court awards.

Agensi Pekerjaan PMA (Penang HQ with branches in Alor Setar, Puchong & Cheras) has committed criminal offense of not abiding in MORE THAN ONE award handed down by the Tribunal Court.

I had my court hearing with PMA on 4th September 2014. Thanks to social media, I came to know of a lady in the same dilemma as me. In both hearings, the judge has awarded us monetary refund due to misrepresentation & incompetent maids who ran away just weeks into their employment.

PMA has not only defied the 14 days deadline to pay the award but has ignored appointments fixed by the Ministry of Trade & Consumerism enforcement officers to investigate their non-compliance. This has been dragging on in the past 6 months.

To date, we have served PMA through our lawyer the Notice 218 which gives them a 21 days deadline. They ignored this too!!

I just want JUSTICE!!!

P/s: AP INNOVEDGE & AP PMA shared exactly the same info contents on each of their websites. Why?? Just FYI for employers to be careful!!
