Been seeing in the papers every weekend on this page on the some articles on the maid
I really wonder, how many singaporeans actually read it....and try to understand.
Yes, i agree some employers are "too" much but then again, if you read just last weekend's article where this Filippino maid says that she try to do other things such as charity on her off days or even she holds gathering at her "employers" place. While the other Indonesian maid, she goes disco dancing and go around talking to everyone and even admit having an affair with her employer.
I guess alot of pple would love to "trust" their maid 100%, but then again, how do we when some of them seriously need to be "guarded" and "watched" upon. Plus the fact govt impose a $5k bond, employers of maid have to really safeguard their own interest plus also take care of this "2nd child" in the house to be wary that they get tricked or even land in jail for whatever reason. Really wonder why the govt don't try explaining to these maid before they come into our country that they are on BOND. So that they might understand why employers are holding tight reign on them. Really wonder also whether the govt when they put these maids through MOM training, do they even go thru the "jail" facts and "bond" issue if the maids try anything funny.
Well...that's my 2 cents...anyone else have others?
