Course on maid regulations opens

South Jakarta Mayor H. Pardjoko wants mayoralty officials,
district and subdistrict heads to popularize the city
administration's ruling No. 6 of 1993 on housemaids.

"We have to popularize the regulations among the mayoralty
officials, as well as the public, because the ruling is
relatively new," Pardjoko, who opened a course on regulations on
domestic helpers, said.

Dozens of officials from the district and subdistrict offices
in the mayoralty participated in the first course to be held in
South Jakarta.

The ruling regulates the obligations and rights of housemaids,
their employers and the agencies who recruit the domestic
helpers.

Future courses will be conducted at each district office.
