I'll manage maids like most do, without obligation to provide wifi, so as not to 弄坏行情. Not every eyer can provide this as it's not a need but more of a want item.


If I spoil the helpers, I'll hv to be prepared to hv them climb over my head. Anyway, they're paid to work at my household, not to surf internet. Focus gets wrong & muddled.

When I interview maids, I never choose those emboldened by expat eyers to ask me to provide wifi. I'll provide 3 solid meals, toiletries, a decent place to sleep with linen & blankets as I consider these as necessities. When my kids were very young, we provide them with MRT cards & regular top ups. I think I've given decent enuf to meet their needs whilst they earn money to send home.

Am on the exact same page on how I manage too.

Hi,


Has anyone encountered cases of employers helping FDWs to bring their child to Singapore to stay with them under exceptional circumstances? My helper who is like a family to us, faced with a tragic incident - her younger son passed away suddenly last Thursday due to dengue after just a day in hospital. We have allowed her to go back for his funeral as well as settle family matters. She is keen to bring her elder son (9 year old) to stay with her (and with us) in singapore which i am very supportive of. I know one way is to apply for student pass. However for foreign students admission, the centralised admission test only happens next year February. Does anyone know in the meantime what she can do? Can she bring her son to stay with us for 30 days and we apply for long term visit pass when he is here?

Thank you all in advance! I know this is an extraordinary situation and thus am asking for any information that fellow parents may have/know of or any agents who can do this. Any info will be helpful. Merci.

You do not need any agent to bring a kid over.


1) She can bring her son here for 30 days stay with u so long as she brings along proof of relationship (in case someone ard u red-eye complain to authorities, he’s just visiting).

2) However, to apply for student pass, u need to take one step at a time. He’s gotta pass his entry tests. You’re aware their fees are much higher than locals & can be more than a helper’s pay. You’ll hv to be a sponsor of S$X,000?

You might wanna try get our P1 sch materials & see if he can accomplish. Previously I tried with my Indo helper’s young son. Their std way behind. Her older daughter was smarter & more hardworking, after I sent her books to read up on & math materials. So prepare well for P1 in Math & Eng. Eng might be tougher for a boy fr Indo bkgrd.

Just ensure when paperwork are done, the son is in Indonesia applying. Not passport showing presence in Spore. Yr helper can accompany himnovervor ano adult go to airport with him over fr Indo & yr helper pick up fr Changi airport.

You’ve a very kind heart. Hv to ensure yr helper watch him closely - adjustments to Spore sch, culture, fitting in with students. Bes bis neighborhood sch. All the best.

Never hire this Myanmar maid by the name of Aye Sandar Myint, I just saw in this video that she wears alot of my new clothes, took pics & video & post on FB, worked only 6 mths at my place, not only broke alot of household items but also spoiled alot of me & my kids clothes & other stuffs, we asked her abt it & she still deny. She even lied that her mother passed away in order to go back to Yangon as her boyfriend asked her to go back. I have sent her back to Yangon yesterday.


Reference check for Aye Sandar Myint has been sent to MOM.

Her bank account closure slip states the amount she received & also the other document she signed off, stating clearing the total amount she received from me is also submitted to MOM to prove that she was lying big time as I did not owe her a single cent of her salary.

She herself also have a copy of the documents from the bank & salary in cash that I gave her.

She has now remove the pics & video of her wearing my clothes.
If she's not guilty of wearing my clothes without my permission & knowledge, she don't have to remove them.

Anyone who is interested to see her video wearing my clothes & my clothes pics can PM, I'll send it over as I'm unable to upload the video here.

Anyone hired Cambodia maid before? I have one now but really hard to get thru to her even when I speak nicely to her.

have a fresh Myanmar maid, 3months passed and she still don’t understand our instructions given. We have 2boys at home, at times when we are in a rush to go out, she still can take her own sweet time. Transferred maid and fresh maid equally problematic I feel.

Anyone can advise if the KPIS card for Indo maids is compulsory? My helper’s card has expired and she is going on home leave next month. Wanted to avoid the $6k thingy. Can share your experiences? Thanks.

She definitely need to renew her KPIS card as this allows her exit to work overseas & she’ll be taxed accordingly owise yes she’ll be slapped with heavy penalty.
