(KUWAIT CITY, Nov 20, Arab Times)--The Ministry of Health (MoH), in cooperation with other authorities, is studying the possibility of making maids, who wish to come to work in the country, go through a psychological test besides regular medical tests, reports Al-Anba daily.
Sources in the health sector said the test will help understand the psychological status of maids and their problems in their native country. The proposal gained prominence after the recent killing of a Kuwaiti woman at the hands of her Ethiopian maid.
A psychological test will help in finding out whether a person has any kind of mental problem or any criminal tendency, said sources, adding “if a maid is found suffering from any such problem, she will be prevented from entering the country.”
The proposal is still being studied, but if the ministry approves it, a strategy to implement it will be worked out, noted sources. Read more from Arab Times »

Enforcing potential domestic workers to undergo a psychological evaluation prior to contract signing because of this one domestic workers' action is plan stupid. I have worked in the middle east for 5 years and I can tell you for a fact that domestic workers are treated worst than animals here. It is more or less slavery. Why do think nearly all of them, regardless of what country they come from, have their passports taken away from them by their retarded employers??? Because they do not want the maid to leave after being abused....They want them to feel a deep rooted sense of hopelessness. It has been proven time after time that a human being is only capable of enduring a certain level of abuse before that individual snaps. What they should be concentrating on is the fact that for 28 years this Ethiopian lady had absolutely no prior criminal record, no arrests, no history of violence. So of course she was driven to murder. The father of the young to-be married daughter now has to live with the fact that he, NOT the domestic helper killed his own daughter.....What a completed fool he is. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! Sad part is he will probably hire a filipina domestic helper next, thinking it will not happen again. Well, guess what, if he does not improve his employer/employee relationship skills, he will most certainly run out of both maids and relatives. errr.
It is all about they will be take psychological test to accept or to survive mentally and physical abuse and torture? Must be reverse all the employer they have to take this test.. very sad to hear all this shit!
