      Hi , I have still not selected my agent cos Ive been caught up with house work etc… Initially I thot of using my relatives agent but realise they are taking frm some other source for Mynmar helpers n to date they dnt have any christian biodatas, i may hve to settle for one that is a non christian. I was wondering whether any one here know of any agent that deals directly with the mynmars and bring them to spore.

      I read in the advert some two yrs bac of an agent called Tailor made who specialise in MYnmars, I dnt know if they r still around, any one know of them and whether they r still functioning?. 😎

        Did any1 of your maid keeps her fingernails and fingers/toes' skin?


        Last night I found out that my maid kept her fingernails and fingers/toes' skin :!: I was so :x cos is unhygienic.

        I asked her why she kept it. Her replied was she don't want to leave any thing from her \"body\" in Singapore. So she wanted to keep till she return to her home town....I was going crazy.....

        Can some1 tell me what should I do to her? Send her back to agent and let them educate her or buy ticket after she pay the loan(another 2 mths to go). :?:

        Some ppl tell me tat she is using those things to make spell on us or cook for us to eat. What you gals think :?

          Don't know, and I don't think I want to know :!: :!:

          I just heard over the radio that North Koreans are packing all of Kim Jong Il's output (watery & solid) back to N.Korea cos they suspect the Chinese may take samples if they flush it down the bowl. So this nail thing....hmmm, while new to me, is not as gross.

          Can you ask her what about her hair that drop each day? and the urine/poop she passes out, where does she keep the stash? That one also from body. And is she intending to keep all her farts too???? Ridiculous!!!

          Consider how comfy you are with her. If the thought scares you, tell the agent to talk some sense into her - that this is a hygiene issue (more than superstition). If she dun listen, bye bye.

          I thought it's more like if she collects YOUR family's nails etc then can do kong tao? If you have to worry about this, I think you have to start sweeping your own floor and cleaning own toilet (ie nonid maid) cos it's very easy for her to get such things.

              Hi shine_fs, I feel that it's more a matter of hygiene if she dares put these sort of things in your food. My 'insurance' is that the maid eats what we eat. Don't worry about kong tao - as long as you are aboveboard, nothing to fear. Hope all goes well.

              TGIF!!!

                shine, personally I don’t think its casting spell but more like harbouring the intention to use it to lace your food. Just like how people use to spit into food before serving to customer that they don’t like? Do you know if she wants to cast spell, she don’t even need your personal thing? All she need is to chant your name. That’s what my Malay colleague told me.


                How long has she been with you? If she has worked for you long enough, you can trust your own instinct. Woman’s sixh sense very accurate. But this is really a first for me! Never heard of maid who will keep these things!

                  Ard 6 mths....I still think that she will not do that. Is more on her hygiene.

                        err !! Kind of weird!! ask her to\" bottle up\" her body odour as well :lol: Must be Indon, full of superstition....My past Indons use to bring sand frm her kampong, claims her mum made her do it, agent says its normal, reminds them of their kampong. I have also seen a small pouch pinned inside another of my maids bra, she says its to bring her good luck.
                        Another brought unwashed mens briefs, the maid says its to remind her of her husband.

                        I told my filipina she had good complexion, she said its due to the fact that whern her first period came she smeared it on her face, :!: I asked another filipina and she too did that when her period first started. looks like its very normal to do such things.. Perhaps U could ask yr filipina whether they did that too :lol: :lol:
