Governments have agreements regarding the maids from respective countries. For example the minimum wage for Filipino maids is the equivalent of USD 400 but in reality they can command more like MYR 2k per month because of scarcity.

For a live in maid you are responsible to arrange their immigration working visa. This often means going through an agency who will bring in legally a maid from your preferred country. There are very few women who already have permission to work on a spouse pass ie married to Malaysians who want live in jobs. That is why bringing in a new maid is necessary. It takes about 3 months to complete the hiring and immigration procedures.
