(Seremban, 27th) An enforcement action to arrest unlicensed foreigners exposed the potential shortage of manpower in private nursing homes for many years, causing the 23-year-old Megawah Nursing Home to fall into a "worker shortage" and was forced to close early.

Liu Xitang, chairman of Megawah Nursing Home and Negeri Sembilan Care Center Federation, admitted that the home has not been able to hire suitable local caregivers for many years because they require high salaries, cannot tolerate the working environment (especially facing the disabled for a long time), and even mentally retarded people are brought in to apply. Various obstacles have forced the home to hire foreign workers.

He said that manpower shortage has always been a common problem faced by private nursing homes. He has repeatedly requested dialogue and meetings with relevant government agencies on this matter but to no avail.

The four arrested foreign workers were found through a job posting on the nursing home's Facebook page. At that time, the nursing home was in the most urgent need of manpower, and they also helped the nursing home overcome its current difficulties. "

He said that with the arrest of the four people, if the shortage of manpower in private nursing homes is not paid attention to and addressed by the government, another four private nursing homes in Negeri Sembilan are expected to face closure next month.

He said that the home has helped many lonely elderly people in the past 23 years, including those who sleep in garbage dumps, wander around or suffer from disasters that result in incomplete limbs. These people cannot take care of themselves and need someone to take care of them, including cleaning up their excrement, feeding or giving medicine, and follow-up visits.

"There are currently 41 people living in the home, aged between 60 and 100 years old. Ten of them are lonely elderly people who do not receive care fees because they have no family support. Although some of the elderly have families, some are sent here because of family disputes. My wife Liang Caifeng and I hope to bring care to the society with love, and we also accept people sent here by representatives to handle complaints, regardless of political party and community background."

The nursing home, which has been in operation for 23 years, is now short of staff. Foreign workers have been arrested. He and his wife are facing charges at any time. Facing jail time or fines, he couldn't help but choke up and ask, is there any meaning for them to exist?

■Couple takes care of 41 people
Liu Xitang emphasized that he held a press conference on Tuesday (27th) to announce the closure of the nursing home. He, 61, and his 60-year-old wife Liang Caifeng,
After the arrest of four foreign workers, the task of taking care of 41 people fell on him and his wife.

"I get up at 5 o'clock every morning and go to the nursing home at 5:30, boil hot water, wake everyone up, bathe them, change diapers, deal with urine and feces, etc. I spent almost 4 hours bathing 40 people. I was so sore from washing that I realized that I was getting old and no longer as energetic as I was in my 30s."

Have u tried to hired locals? 70% is pampered trash, if u pay 6000 just have them work more, what u want to charge an income-less old folks?
U think everyone is rich?

mentally retarded people are brought in to apply.

Lol what

that is what i wanna say. Local demands higher pay like what the news reported.

Higher cost > higher charge > who is able to pay for?

can or not if no body takes care and send to public gov one?

What happen to the old folks? Become Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat punya responsibilities?

u know i know

this is true sacrifice , remind my relative who take gare both grandparent till their passing, cleaning up their shit, feed them, listen their yapping (AD, dementia ) is no easy job.

agree with ppl who say take care then 1 week rage quit , these ppl are real and show their true colour

Not much of a business but more to a social service on private capacity, bless their heart. Not even an NGO.
Wonder what kind of aid is available for people in their position considering what they're doing.

not sure here but private outside is around 5k- 6k.

I can say no local wants to work in this industry . ( I saw some from Sabah Sarawak)


the authority that raiding the place rly sohai tarak paham punya. all pampered life with family .

kalau satu hari takdir mak bapak dia kena stroke, kena 24/h assist, pakai pampers hari2, baru dia tau sakit kepala mau cari caregiver .


u want to do enforcement,fine, but provide the alternative solution la cibai

only foreigners can tahan this kind of job, since its a better alternative than your usual construction work .

For JB:

Ambulate - RM1,700
Assisted - RM1,800
Wheelchair Bound - RM1,900
Bedridden - RM2,000

genting c highland tunggu apa

Staying a decade in a nursing home is fairly common. It'll cost ±RM250k for just for that one pax. If you're planning to take care that person on your own, be prepared to go mentally exhausted then collapsed.

Google translate, the article and link is in Chinese.

Bukan pampered, dealing with old people is not easy, even if it is your own parents, that's why many char siew son and daughter send them to old folks center.

It is your own words, right? Law is law.

If a b40 citizen selling balloon on the street without a permit can get slammed on the floor and chokehold, I expect the same treatment to illegal foreigners too.

Manusia will eventually rot away oneway or another, accelerating after 40 yo… (accident, disease, ageism… deswai nursing home…) v must do something about this… if irreversible is d solution forever care giving sampai 100 yo sampai bila2? or more humane to resort to wat some ppl called “mercy killing”… food for tot…

i dont intend to see this person to reply my thread.

your post kena report liao, not me. u know who?

Long term is not the solution because eventually those bangla and myanmar will become richer and demand more to work these jobs too. Optimus is the future

ayam optimus suddenly doesnt want to bootup, since stub the toe on furniture. could be a faulty toe sensor.
SD doesnt want to honor the warranty kos ayam mod optimus outer shell with nasilemak.

i guess somebody just wanna hit KPI without thinking about the consequences..

there is the law and there is empathy..

madani show empathy to jibby but cant show empathy to these poor old folks??

i can sponsor the taxi fare to deliver these folks to the closest KBM office

have faith in Dage give subsidy to make hundred manufacturers price wars each other until almost free.

Mine freelance 3.6K, incl working on Sundays.

But if use agencies, can even go as high as 8K.

Male, female, married also have.

Rich or not cannot expect local to do elder care on rm3k when they can barely afford to live themself. 3k is barely enough to make a decent life these days.

If got higher pay, we all also sure will take also, but u expect other to assume burden and take lower pay and handicap themself for the 'greater good' of society? Damn selfish thinking. Like this, who wants to do this role? Ppl rather do elder care overseas earn RM20k+.

So u nurse? U go house to house gif service or kerja nursing home freelance?

Heard of home based foreigner caregivers?

]only the cainis not breeding.

Exactly, they look down on those people, laugh at them for being poor with their low salary, but when it comes to taking care of their parents, they expect top-notch service from them with shitty salary, wtf lol.

You want the local people to enslaved themselves with low salary to take care of your parents that has raise you?

Mine home based caregiver.

I take her for a month, but my mother seems ok with her, she also seems ok. So we continue longer.

When my late father was around, we used local private nurse 2 hours daily to take care of my mother. He doesn't like strangers in the house. And my mother is jealous type. That was our mistake, due to this, my father wasn't well taken care off and died of sepsis.

Caretakers also have husband and wife doing it, so can take care both father and mother, but payment is also doubleler.

my uncle single and never married live in old folk center

RM250k/decade for one pax.. If both parents + both inlaw's still around, please standby a million.

Dun forget budget u n your wife..

What Madani gov has done?

So bulanan 3.6k... 24 hour and stay at your house or 8 hour working days?

24hrs, at home. We provide nice2 room.
But usually my mother will not disturb during night time.

Usually caregiver prefer to sleep near to the person she is caring for when needed. Part of their job.

normal la smid? dunno which fanatic.

Likely some IQ deficient human who doesnt understand the basis of humanity.
Think they are above the world just like the Yahudis

most probaby are those rich one but hati is tissue and kedekut. Even a single cent counts on you.

Authorities that go after long running private nursing homes really got no heart
law is law yes
but there's also empathy, which clearly this dept lacks

47charges can let go free carry balls
but few foreign workers with paper problems - EYES WIDE OPEN

Do enforcement with wisdom

Follow the law……

Not only that, locals if bak suka can just quit the next day, countless MCs and ECs. Foreign workers can be more dependable to show up to work every day.

KEKWA.
If cannot hire illegal foreign workers, go hire legal foreign workers la.
Oh wait, cannot lowball them now.

The audacity of these fuckers.

Lol, basis of humanity konon, if got humanity, you would take care your own parents or at least give a proper wage to legal foreign workers and local.

You use illegal foreign workers because you are exploiting them for your own advantage, not because of your fake "humanity".

Lol, empathy konon, you use those word when it is only convenient for you, if you have real empathy, you hire legal foreign workers to take care of your beloved ones instead of exploiting illegal foreign workers with cheap wages.

"has done"? it was already running for 23 years, should ask "will do"

what will the current gov do? not much i think, maybe some policy here and there if its viral enough, but to enforce those policies? doubtful

Why asking tongkat from Madani pulak?

Taking care of your own parents is such dreadful is it?

relaks bro, no need to be that triggered, not all things need to be political even if it involves the government and not all policies need to be "tongkat" in nature (but most do we know), maybe more like proper "SOP" or guidelines from the government? I mean for those old folks home, not specifically for "taking care of parents".

most of us agree that we ourselves need to take care of our parents and most of us also agree that its not going to be an easy job.

All hypocrite, nobody dare to legalise euthanasia. No solution given to unfortunate ppl, just riding moral high horse pretend to see no suffering.

If you're retarded do read the article, the old folks home has accomodated several homeless old folks who doesnt even pay.

With this kind of revenue, u think they should pay RM5000 lazy Yahudis?

Those are slippery slope, even Nazi Germany has gone through those phase.

Lol, we already have homeless housing for homeless people, don't need to drag them to your problem.

Then if you yourself work there, how much salary you think you deserve getting?

Reminding you it is not 8am to 5pm kind of job, and those Yahudis have family, have own children, have own parents and their own commitment too.

You expect the Yahudis to work like illegal foreigners who leave everything behind, their husband, their children, their parents just to take care your own parents on shitty wage?

No wonder your people don't want children anymore, better save money for old age.

congrats you just answer your own previous returdness question

So you expect the Yahudis to work like illegal foreigners who leave everything behind, their husband, their children, their parents just to take care your own parents on shitty wage?

Then don't complain if they don't feel like enslaving themselves to take care your own freaking parents.

Also don't complain if they crackdown on illegal immigrants, hahaha.

If a citizen b40 can't make own living in their own country selling balloon by walking around without permit, than those fking illegal has no right too. Law is law.

your perspective is very the interesting
really dunno where to start
being a lazy bum that i am and knowing better than to argue with someone who's steadfast on his thoughts
you have a lovely day ahead bruh
take good care of ur parents
