Ali Al-Quraishi, vice  president of the local Labor Recruitment Committee said Saudi is  serious in imposing a ban on the import of housemaids from Sri Lanka,  Nepal, Cambodia and Vietnam.          “The main reason for considering such a ban is that the labor  recruiters in those countries are not qualified enough to supply  housemaids that suit the local culture and tradition. There is no proper  selection process of housemaids to suit this market, nor are they given  orientation before they leave their countries,” he added.          Al-Quraishi said local employers have found that maids from these  countries make no effort to adapt to local conditions. “They don’t even  show any inclination to cope with local traditions and culture,” he  said. “We have decided to be extra-careful when dealing with such  foreign labor, especially after some reports that housemaids were  involved in child murders and incidents of violence,” he added.
