A Saudi minister has said he finds it revolting to see spoilt children waited on hand and foot by Asian maids, whose main role is often that of status symbol.Labour Minister Ghazi Algosaibi said the kingdom had become too dependent on foreign maids, mainly from Asia, but did not say if entry visas for them would be curbed.
In an interview published in al-Eqtisadiah newspaper, he said "In this society, the healthy teenager needs a maid to bring him a glass of water that is exactly 10 metres away"
He went on to say, "It really causes me a great deal of depression.. you hear in this society the little girl talking about 'her Filipina' or 'her Indonesian' and this girl is barely four years old."
Maids waiting on children hand and foot ? I thought that's what mothers are for!
