I almost employed that killer maid
-
Wah... didn't realise it. My wife just noted that when we were choosing for a maid, that same maid "Rohani" was almost chosen. Can't be wrong, my wife has got photographic memory...
Phew... luckily. Checked with my maid, and yes she say that same maid is from the same agency.

got so 'zhun' meh...

Heng meh?
Its just that her employer abused her, thats why end up like this.
Seriously, many so called educated Singaporeans do not know how to treat their maids like felllow human beings... -
Many Singaporeans cannot see their maid as an employee.And these are usually people who have never been in charge at work before.Originally posted by laurence82:Heng meh?

they just treat the maid as someone they can be superior to and 'step' on them...
and for abusing them to such a state that they want to murder u..they must have done reli terrible things..
for maid employers out there..do take care of ur maid sometimes..
-
Yes... realli that "heng". Coming to the pt of treating maids. I treat my maid like my family. So I think even if its that "Rohaini" comes to my place this would not have happened.

Wrong!Originally posted by LazerLordz:Many Singaporeans cannot see their maid as an employee.And these are usually people who have never been in charge at work before.
The latest one that got killed was an entreprenuer.
A towkay neo.
I think we should think of a way to psychologically profile potential maid employers ( both husband and wife) and weed out unsuitable employers.
Not only for the employers' safety, but also for their childrens', and the maids' as well. There was a case of a maid who was beaten to death by the man.
If maids have to be qualified to work as FDW, employers also have to be qualified to employ them. -
Most entrepreneur emphasize the ME concept. Which means they usually step on other people to get themselves ahead.Originally posted by mancha:Wrong!

Whenever such tragedy happens, Singaporeans are always very fast to accuse the employers for ill treating or abusing the maid, cos dead employers cannot defend for themselves.Originally posted by laurence82:Heng meh?

I always believe that it takes 2 hands to clap. Though I admit that the employers should practise self control, but shouldn't we pay more attention to the source - the quality of the maid.
Would you kill your boss if your boss always pressurise you and speak negatively on you because you cannot perform?
Would your boss have to treat you like his own family member just to prevent you from killing him?
If your answers to the above 2 questions are no, then what makes you think that maids have the special previlage of killing their employers just because they are being told off for non performance.
For the maid in this incident, there were no bruise on her body that shows that her employer had physically abused her. Moreover, the employer was out for work from 6a.m. till 11p.m., meaning, the maid had so much freedom between this time, where is the abuse and ill treatment? The employer was merely telling her off for non performance, don't the employer have the right to do so? Would you go and tell your boss that he has no right to tell you off even if you don't perform? -
dun agree....... somebody whom i noe is in charge of a company but she is also veri demanding on her maid.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Many Singaporeans cannot see their maid as an employee.And these are usually people who have never been in charge at work before. -
Hm.. i agree that it take both hands to clap to make this murder happen...
Maybe the maid also could not take hardship type who knows...
But i guess the most impt thing is actually that maid shld be treated as a family member as well...
Just imagine that a person travel alone to foreign country to earn a living, he/she has a fear factor inside her heart to survive in this foreign country. If he/she can sense harm, she/he will be veri defensive or even offensive to strik first. Thus, imagine this maid can sense that the family is just treating her like dirt.. how will she feel?
Thus i really feel that maid shld be welcomed with open arms and not as if u go into a pet shop to buy some pets back home.... -
The higher educated a person is, the more a person does stupid acts
-
yes..i hv to agree with the majority.i myself hv a maid for the past 6yrs.
To hv them is like to hv another member in the family,afterall they hv feelings like us...taking care of the kids and property.Normally 'arrognant' employers hv bad upbringing..comfirm!..they were force to struggle and achieve what they are right now and they want the maid to hv the same standard!!where got sense??!!!One thing i hv to say to them...U ARE KEEPING A SUICIDE BOMBER bro' ....!!!

Just wanted to point out that employer is not at home does not means employer cannot pressure the maid.
My sister-in-law, everyday plans what her maid have to do that day. Then every 30mins to 1hr calls back home to check her maid.
She wakes the maid up 5am & let her sleep 12pm. Everday needs to clean the windows, wash toilet, bring kids to & back from school. And still either the maid complain to change or she would change maid every 3 months.
Everyday meal is Mee, Behoon & eggs.
Even when I was invited to dinner at her house, can see she order the maid do this do that. At dinner table, the maid was expected to walk at least 30~40 times to serve a 45 minutes dinner.
Already a serious case recently where the maid sleep at the corridor just to gain police attentions. Police lodge the case, then sister-in-law have no choice but to sent maid back immediately.
I have no surprise if her maid attack her in the future.
By the way, sister-in-law is a Private Teacher. And my brother it's his own boss. It's does not means not at home cannot pressure maid. There is always telephone. Pressure does not only comes by physical. Mental pressure are more deadly.
I pray hard sister-in-law will wake up her idea. She have been telling me, she paid her salary, she must work the hours that she is been paid for. This maybe right, but driving toward a deadly ending. -
Maids will steal things. If you put your gold ring around when she is around. She will steal it. That is the maid way. Then she say. "NO" I did not see it .
A lot of times already found in homes. So employ maid should be treated not equal.
Just like Singapore. When you work. Are you treated equal as the boss ? Not happy quit loh ~! Or boss will sack you. -
