I agree with Khalid, employers suffer more than employees.

I think countries (India, Pakistan, SRilanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Philippines) are equally responsible for the plight of workers. Most of Arab people are corrupt minded. The travel agents of these countries also responsible. The governments of these countries should implement strict law to avoid any breach of contract. First all respective govt and embassies/consulates of Arab countries should take bank guarantee/deposit to protect the rights of worker. Implementing this condition surely drop the violation of human rights and other ill practices doing by the employers in these countries.

Bravo! I wish that all foreign missions have the same outlook for all their citizens working abroad. I hope they sit up and take note of what the Indonesian government is doing for its people working over seas.
The employers in the GCC should start looking after their employees also as the news will spread and guess what it is going to get increasingly more difficult to get new staff. New staff is going to get hard to come by and if you treat them badly the word will spread and the employers will start getting a reputation. In fact I think it is high time that employers get named and shamed for transgressions towards their employees.
Anyway that is my 10 fils worth...
