Again your bitterness towards Qatar and the Gulf surfaces.
"Its a myth that supply of people will be unlimited to face such in-human treatments"
Fact of the matter, tg, is that this goes beyond maids and extends to all the blue-collar/"menial" job spectrum. Despite your supplied link, and it seems you are quite adept at digging up statistics and information that suit your purposes but are really easily countered by counter statistics and information, I don't see construction sites in the Gulf devoid of laborers and I'll bet you $100 that as long as there's demand for labor the supply will continue.
You know when this will change? When Western governments take up the cause of human rights and decide to implement more stringent standards on employers not only in the Gulf, which you're obviously so bitter about, but also in Hong Kong and Singapore among other places where there's rampant abuse.
We've discussed this before. It's up to the governments of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Egypt, Philippines, etc. to guarantee their emigrant workers' rights. And as long as they continue to turn a blind eye then they are just as criminal as the abusers. Having said that anyone abusing another human being is a despicable low-life who, in my view, deserves the "eye for an eye" treatment.
The quality of journalism in the local rags will NOT improve if "more creative and investigative writing is permitted". These "journalists" need lessons in the elements of journalistic style and content. They massacre the simplest article with the crude archaic English they learned as children and teenagers . First you learn the basics of building then you build more grandiose projects.
I do agree that there is a glaring need for more in-depth journalism but things are changing. But I agree with angelwings, I'm seeing things in the local press now that would never have been published 2 years ago, let alone 10.
