Within just over a day of its launch, the  Immigration Department's Maid Online System has registered 25, 719 hits, with 702 employers sending in applications for foreign domestic helpers.

The page [http://maid-on-line.imi.gov.my] started operating on Monday

The cost of  hiring a maid using the system is about RM 1,600 to RM 2,500 which includes levy, deposit and processing fee, among others.
