"Several Indonesian labor suppliers are attempting to cheat Saudi employers and labor importers with forged documents.

Last month the NCR signed an agreement with the Ethiopian Federation of Manpower Recruitment to supply domestic workers for salaries up to SR1,000 with a guarantee that none of them would run away.
