Women workers
Our female workers have been brought back from Saudi Arabia. They had been there to work as housemaids with skill, efficiency and a will to help their family back at home through work. But, unfortunately their dream has come to a sudden and humiliating halt. Their Saudi employers had sexually harassed them. More appalling is the fact that our government hasn't yet asked the Saudi government for an explanation, rather they just acquiesced in the ill whims of the oil-rich Arabs who inflicted a hellish ordeal on the lives of our poor but worthy people.
Now the question is, if the government doesn't make any attempt to seek justice for the cruel injustice that has been done to our citizens working across the globe, then how can we explain the do-nothing stand? Moreover, the inexplicable stoicism will only demean our dignity and the morale of the people of this independent country.
I strongly urge the government to take a stand on the issue on behalf of the citizens.
