agree with skyfoo for most of it but i feel that sometimes the employers also come home to vent their fustrations at work on the maidsOriginally posted by skyfoo:perhaps they dun like the maids to be prettier than them?
basically, it's a mental problem. these abusers have the mindset that since the maids are being paid by them, the maids are theirs. so they can do anything to them like no one business. it doesnt matter if the maids do their jobs well anot, an abuser will abuse anyone.
sux to be the maids of the minorityOriginally posted by The Barracuda:Its a small minority who are abusive and it gets sensationalise in the news and on TV. Most Singaporeans treat their domestic workers well.
this is a kind of sickness/mental problem. as a city country..most people are very pressure. just put urself in the shoes, after a long day fighting at work (maybe also kana scold by boss) come back home damn fXXKing tired..ur maid still doing the same old mistake which you been teaching her for years. woman usually EQ quite low..they just kicking the bag.Originally posted by skyfoo:perhaps they dun like the maids to be prettier than them?
