Inside Story - The plight of domestic workers abroad

[gtchaturanga2007]

saudi arabia is the fucking stupid country i ever seen gay Allah dnt knw hw to respect to ppl

[QGprincess]

when did this happen by the way?

[QGprincess]

Animals!!!!

[jerste]

Nuke Riyadh.

[alghamdiaa]

Indonesian did not refuse the penalty; rather, they are angry because they were not informed about the time of execution. The media changed the issue to different subject. It is now discussing why Saudi government executes the killers. Many commentators on this clip do not know the story, what did she do to deserve this penalty.

[ROCKanies]

this is really bad, OMG muslim women really need to stand up for our rights we should not be treated like this, this is complete bullshit greeting from morocco and respect for these woman

[Zeyadu]

Yayy! Maybe I (a saudi), will have better job opportunities at home! we have way too many foreign labour and unemployed Saudis. Not to mention that majority of the women dont work lol!

[Halldisa]

@Zeyadu Except you're in Canada. Talk about foreign labour stealing jobs eh? Still, nothing like the death of an innocent person to improve quality of life for everyone.

[abdullah7792]

Muslims dont just kill people for no reason you assholes they do it for a reason and i know why they killed that Indonesian women it's because she killed an old lady at Saudi Arabia.please thumbs up so people can see this comment and know why they killed her

[fsxmantra]

arab employers who killed their maids get only 3 years imprisonment, what justice is this? islamic?

[moond40]

I'm Muslim but I am not agree with they punish death penalty,saudi Arabian Act like a animal

[smartzazi]

I don't know why people are so mad here. However, in Islam, if you kill in purpose, you get killed as well. END OF STORY

But why Saudi banned them now? Because they had MANY cases like this, and it looks like these people from Indonesia have a short temper, and Saudi is sick of such crimes. I agree with this ban, and there are PLENTY other countries to get people willing to work and support their families.

p.s. what a shame for those who talk shit about Saudi and yet call themselves 'muslims'

[diskomport]

@smartzazi So what? Does being a saudi means you are free from being stamped as SHIT by your fellow muslims? If you act like 1 then perhaps you are 1, because "shits" existed in every race. And FYI it is SAUDI which is banned from being the work destinations for Indonesian migrant workers. NOT the other way around, you stupid pompous pr*ck!

[smartzazi]

@diskomport Hatred and ignorance are killing you, would suck to be you :)

[mishrik]

Islam is the religion of the Arabs. Some kings in order to suck up to the Arabs and their stupid dogmas of Arabic imperialism converted to Arab Submission. Women/ children are extremely ill treated even forced to drink ***** sad but true. Islam is the curse on Indonesians as they are non Arab peoples. The brave Javanese & Balinese have retained their customs peaceful & animist like Hindu & Buddhist. I know youdho who was born in moslem family but celebrate eating pork & relishing wine. Achenese!

[diskomport]

@mishrik religion is not the problem. everyone can be an a-hole, whatever their belief or race. 

[mishrik]

@diskomport So you are giving a clean shit to ISlam the religion of Arabs. My friend this is from the religious arab sayings by the Nabi Mohd(saw?) who hated mongoloid peoples proclaiming the superiority of black Arabs. "You moslems will fight those whose eyes are small and noses flattenned and who have ugly reddish faces like hamerred shields.- Sahih Al Bukhari , jihad and biography saying number 2928 and 2927."

[xGarudaDiDadaKux]

cant wait to get my hands on these fucking saudis

-an indonesian muslim on a hunting mood-

[bdvzim]

Saudi has long reverted back to the days of ignorance...jahiliyyah.

Allah WILL punish the enemies of Islam. Their days are numbered.

[rtshchand]

@bdvzim Fuck u

[abdullah7792]

@rtshchand shut the fuck up man let @bdzim say what he wants you fucking asshole! if a person wants to be Muslim its not your job to comment about how Muslims suck.so go fuck yourself motherfucker!!!!!!!!!

[rtshchand]

@abdullah7792 hey abdullah7792 allow me the pleasure to fuck you, just like United States did to your infidel uncle Osama and throw your bitch ass into the sea

[TheEsotericDesi]

Well, this issue's not about how many foreign workers these nations have, it's about how one's treated in these shitty nations... and Al Jazeera's not coming to the point and criticizing the shit that needs to be criticized...

[ahmed337799]

@TheEsotericDesi

aljazeera is a news agency, its job is to report things not criticize them. ok mister tough american?

[rencrow]

@TheEsotericDesi AJE reports the news not dish out opinion pieces like shitty Fox News.

[LeHuyAnh]

This is great news that Indonesia is finalyl learning! Foreign women face horrific abuse there, and used there. If they don't want "their" women going overseas, "our" women shouldn't be going there!

[TheEsotericDesi]

Saudi illiterate fuckhead nomads should be cleaning toilets in our nations... not the other way around... Uneducated backward 5th Century stone age assholes...

[ahmed337799]

@TheEsotericDesi

shut indo cunt, when you're able to provide your kids with a protein filled meal come talk.

[Walhei960]

Good for Indonesia! These women are tortured and murdered by arrogant Muslims who think they own them. It is a crime and a shame how they are treated. Burned with cigarettes, being forced to have sex. Typical Muslim arrogance. That is called second class citizens. Islam is hateful. They only know war, and domination and murder. It is not ever a religion but a way for men and Mullahs to dominate others. It is a giant Satanic Cult!

[ahmed337799]

@Walhei960

Go hang yourself, you judge a religion of 1.5 billion by an outdated law in a country of 20 million which is still in its developping stages.

[jahan442]

saudis and other arab countries are exploiter of the labour from poor nation . their arguments of explotation is that these people dont have enough to eat in their own country . so giving them a job on stupid pay they feel they can treat these workers like animals .

[ahmed337799]

@jahan442

it's wrong, but you have to remember than no other country would take these labourers in such large numbers. if they tried to enter america they would be deported back immediately.

[jahan442]

@ahmed337799 yes its wrong and good of you to admit it . but that doesnt solve the real issue , especially if you start looking for other countries fault .

saudi depends on america and every other nation to run its country and the oil pays for all that . OIL that all it has and nothing else . every one nows money buys everything but you cant buy respect .

[mrtecno99]

This is the law in Saudi Arabia Take it or Leve it . Read the law before working there !!!

[jahan442]

@mrtecno99 abuse and explotation is that also saudi law .

saudis are no different than israel .

let that lady be a heroin .

The beheaded woman got what she deserved; she murdered her employer. No one forced her to kill him. She could have just left and gone back to indonesia.

[Lhaw06]

@agents1986 i totally agree, if a murderer gets killed in the U.S. or china by shooting or lethal injection or even the electic chair, which is terrible, there is almost no outcry, but when it happens in a muslim country all of a sudden people are outraged ~

[MrBranboom]

@agents1986 Try saying that after reading 'Princess: A Story from Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia'

[inimark5]

@agents1986 From what I understand is, the maid asked her employer to go back to Indonesia. However, the employer DID NOT allow her to go back home. The maid also experienced abuses. That's the motive behind the killing.

[MrAlmuazzin]

More people die in the state of Chicago in gangland killings in one single hour, than all the executions in saudia Arabia in a whole year.

Go look it up it's a fact

Now which is uncivilised the west or the Islamic world

[87solarsky]

@MrAlmuazzin This isn't a question of civilized vs. uncivilized, but rather between people who admit themselves to kill others and people who refuse such sins.

[AduhAwas]

@MrAlmuazzin What a retarded analogy. Because there is wrong in the other world that means that you can't point out wrong within your sphere of influence? Of course there is evil in the world and you need to recognize all of it. This doesn't however allow you to minimize what the Saudis do. If you want to bring in issues about civility, then why does the Saudi elite maintain essentially slave trade from Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. Why do they abuse fellow Muslims?

[HouseNigro]

@MrAlmuazzin

That is a good point, we both have big issues. But there is something to be said about a gangbanger killing another gangbanger not being equal to an employer killing and employee.

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

@MrAlmuazzin;

BOTH !

It is disgusting to behead people, and claim that its what God wants. Of course there should be rules, to prevent the place becoming like soddom, but there is no need for that barbarity.

As for the gangs in america, that is a product of the capitalist and debt based system. Usery is forbidden in the koran and bible, for good reasons - it creates dissharmony and misery.

You would behead the gang members, but america forces them to work in prisons. NEITHER is God's work!

[inder19852000]

Obviously Saudi is uncivilized. In the West, migrants have freedom of movement. They can change their jobs. They get paid same as any citizen in that country. They can go to the same school and univeristy as other citizens. They can even have citizenship of that country.

[Icix1]

@MrAlmuazzin

Yeah, right. Public beheading, summary execution for any sort of drug trade, nailing nails into a maid? Are you fucking kidding me? Chicago has more crime because we send our criminals to jail instead of just killing them. Saudi Arabia is fucking savage. And let's not even get started on women's rights...

[Walhei960]

@MrAlmuazzin It is not that they died but HOW THEY DIED. Beheading is barbaric and inhuman. But that fits Islam perfectly!

[Swissas]

@MrAlmuazzin Our governments don't sanction medieval beheadings whose legality is internationally challenged. Also way to go and make this an Islamic vs. west thing. The women was a muslim. Get an education, you clearly need one.

[87solarsky]

These issues debated here are simply the fruits of Islam: Terror,Death,Abuse and Despotism.

[azeriamina29]

@87solarsky

mr, solarsky How many people killed all over Europe and America every hour,how many? Do you have face to say? No. Ofcourse story is very bad.But in Muslim countrys its happened so rear,in your country almost every hour.So shut up,respectfully.OK.

[87solarsky]

@azeriamina29 Oh, you are telling me to shut up? In the name of allah, or what?! Go to hell satanist(=muslim!).

[azeriamina29]

@87solarsky

Shut up. Empty brain and soul. Shut up.Go make remaks about your own fake religion and country.Understood.DO not worry about anyothers.

[azeriamina29]

@87solarsky

YOU polish retard go feed your brain with some knowledge and care about your poor country.

[DCFunBud]

Stay out of Saudi Arabia. Let them clean their own toilets. It would do them good.

[alldamnamesRtaken]

@DCFunBud hehe i think that would make a great therapy session for alot of us :P

[muslimgiga]

@DCFunBud naa saudi's don't have a toilet to clean. They are being hypocritical VERY hypocritical and it's time someone spoke out.

[A1Kalid]

@DCFunBud those workers from Indonesia and Philippines are working in saudi arabia for generations naw

and this worker only this one she killed every one in the house ...

do you think that their family's will simply let her go ...

iam sorry but if you want the troth it is NOT in tv

the media always lies

any way Saudi need some repairing , but not that match .

[helix4811]

I don't think the Saudi's care about this ban much, seeing as they can always compensate that by going to Pakistan or even Europe and Australia.

[iknewitalready]

@ahmed337799

ok whatever

[annata12]

@iknewitalready The only form of government where people can decide are secular democracies based on Human Rights! Otherwise you have a tyranny of the majority or tyranny of a powerful minority, in both case part of the populations still have no voice.

[iknewitalready]

@annata12

Secular Democratic systems cannot be imposed. If imposed it will not last.

Otherwise Government will be infested with puppets of foreign countries.

[ahmed337799]

@iknewitalready

Did you know Secular is Arab word?

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

well the Ben Ali and Mubarak regimes were considered secular, in fact, they were both at one point or another accused of suppressing religion (all of them, not just one) in their respective nations, and kidnapping religious leaders and beating or killing them.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

Yes, but see, because of the secular policies of those regimes, the people managed to get a decent education, which meant that when they felt they were truly being robbed and repressed, they knew that they could control their destiny, so they revolted. While in Saudi Arabia, people are so brainwashed by the religious nonsense, they will never revolt, and will continue to be robbed by their governments until the end of tine.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

That is your opinion, but you're assessment of the why seems flawed, simply because it could ultimately be put to the fact that the society itself was probably religious, but the government tried to suppress it. It is most likely that the people at first just went out to protest that fruit sellers death, but it eventually turned into a revolution because they couldn't get the government to listen.

Education doesn't have anything to do with revolutions.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

actually the governments did listen, and offered immediate concessions, but the revolutionary mouvement(students) wanted to end completely the system of tyranny.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

actually those concessions were false, and similar tokens were offered in the past to quell protests, and when the protests did stop, the governments usually, if not all the time, didn't keep their promises. You also mentioned Saudi Arabia, let's say that Saudi Arabia wasn't a religious society, in fact, lets go further and say that it was completely atheist, would that change anything? probably not, because in reality the people benefit from the monarchy and the royal family.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

and they love the royal family for that. It's just true, there is nothing more to it, they love them for bringing just wealth and unity to the nation. I lived in Saudiyya for a 3 year and a half teaching network engineering there, they people love them a lot, they praise the king for his charitable ways. One of my students told me, if the citizens wanted the royal family to leave, they could probably do it within a single week, coincidentally, his name was Ahmed too.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

No, they love the royal family because they are uneducated. Saudi Arabia has more oil reserves than any other country, and a population of only 20 million people, they should be leading the Arab world, instead they spread islamic extremism to all over the world. I am Muslim and Arab, pissing on the royal family isn't the same as pissing on islam or arabs. if saudis had any brains in them they'd know they don't the "Royal Family" to bring "wealth and unity". hahahaha such bullshit.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

it seems you know very little about the tribal dynamics in the arab world, and the history of Saudi Arabia, there is a reason why it has the name it does.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

tribal dynamics = lack of education.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

i disagree, a tribe is nothing more than a close nit family, nothing more, it has nothing to do with education. You're putting two things, that have nothing to do with each other, together.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

Tribalism is no good! No intelligent person would ever agree on giving his entire country to one single tribe!

Everyone in the Saudi government is from the same family. They control all the wealth, and nobody has a clue on where they spend it. Saudi people support Al Saud, because they don't understand democracy, they don't understand, that they themselves can run their country, that they don't a king to safeguard them. A country with so much ressources should not have poverty!

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

That is quite naive, the US at it's peak was the richest nation in the world, but it still had to deal with poverty. The thing is poverty will always exist, no matter what we do to tackle it, not saying that we shouldn't, but we should be realistic in our approach. As for tribalism being no good, your claims are baseless, and how do you know intelligent people wouldn't support tribalism?

Your claim that Saudi Arabia is run by one single tribe is also ridicules.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

we will keep disagreeing forever. i explained to you that saudi arabia is an extremely wealthy nation with a small population, whatever wealth it has has nothing to do with the royal family.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

On the contrary, it has everything to do with the royal family, they were the ones to bring in foreign investment, they were the ones to pay for the oil facilities, they brought the modern life style to the arab world, albeit, with many restrictions. and 20 million isn't a small population, by contrast, look at Canada 30 million people, second largest oil producing nation in the world, 6th most wealthiest nation among the G20 and it still has thousands that are in poverty.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

conti...

I think it should be obvious that the King doesn't hold absolute power, nor does his family. You don't know why Saudi people support the Al Saud family, so please don't claim you do, because while i may not be Saudi, i support king faisal because he fully payed for my grandfathers lung surgery and they had never met before. It seems that you know very little of Saudi Arabia's history and what the Al Saud family had to do to build the nation.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

As for Saudi's having little education, like i said, i've lived there for a number of years teaching, and trust me when i say, they are far from being stupid. Besides, if it wasn't for the royal family, i doubt the nation would even exist or be as wealthy as it is.

[helix4811]

@ahmed337799

btw, where are you from, because i doubt that your real name is Ahmed, and i seriously think you use this account to troll muslims with. Also why do you only usually post on Al jazeera english videos that have to do with muslim topics? are you trying to troll muslims, because it seems that you're failing....badly.

[ahmed337799]

@helix4811

no if you watch other videos i troll everyone.

[iknewitalready]

@ahmed337799

according to merriam webster dictionary,

1st known use of the word 'secular' is in 14th century.

origin of word 'secular' comes from Anglo-French word Seculer.

[annata12]

@iknewitalready i agree

[iknewitalready]

Arab countries need to stop foreign worker visas.

[Vipnonyarg]

At least they will be safer other than been miss treated by those made arsed Saudis.

[COD04MW]

The real solution for this is that our government (I am an Indonesian) should be able to provide more job opportunities to our own people so that we don't have to export TKIs (Foreign workers), as in truth, I have seen that they have became victim of torture in many countries. Especially Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

[paranorma1palace]

i wouldnt visit saudi arabia if you paid for my flight and hotel and gave me 50k to spend, i dont understand why people would visit a place full of sweaty ragheads with fuck all better to do than drive fancy cars and beat women up

[ahmed337799]

@paranorma1palace

IT'S CALLED LOOKING FOR A FUCKING JOB!

[paranorma1palace]

@ahmed337799

whats the point of working in a place where your cant even drive as a woman ?, or have any freedoms, basically you just exist there as a slave and if you get raped its your own fault, yeh nice job, saudi sounds like a great place to work as a woman lol, and turn your caps of my vision is perfect thanks

[ahmed337799]

@paranorma1palace

you're just a white kid born with a spoon up your ass. if you were born in a poor country and had no education or work experience you'd be begging for a ticked to saudiland.

[paranorma1palace]

@ahmed337799

i would be ignorant if i was a muslim born in a poor country, thats how arab leaders like their population, all dumbed down n brainwashed, western workers do skilled jobs in saudi because we are educated, and get well paid, still wouldnt go there tho, some things you cant buy with money, like freedom and liberty, i wouldnt want to spend my hard earned money in a country that i saw as a violator of human rights, something the arab world has a lot to learn about :/

[ilafeiz]

@paranorma1palace if you are woman good luck with but many westerner get paid well over there

[blackstars56]

arabs are the most backward people ever. specially the saudis. they are the main obstacle to development in the muslim world.

[ahmed337799]

@blackstars56

i agree with you on the saudis. but the other arabs e.g yemenis, syrians, lebanese, egyptian, iraqi, algerians are progressive people.

[cdltpx]

Saudi Arabia is about to experience rioting and civil war. The Royal family will be just that Royally FFFFed.
