Wow, your agent not professional leh.... :shock:

Hi shine_fs, not only that agent was not professional...There are many out there too...We remembered after the maid left, we actually got a fili maid from the same agent and she quit after 2 months..Very bad homesick and so her hubby paid the outstanding amt to the agent so that she could return home...This one is find except she cannot pass the separation period with her family..She did apologise to us and she still text me once in a while...The next one came and omg, she could not even speak proper english although she is a filipino...We found her another employer who don't mind her poor english after 6 mths of tolerence....We got fed up with the agent and I asked them to help me to look for someone who can speak english..You know what, another lady manager called her agent in the Philippines to faxed over bio-data for maid with good english...I was at the agent waiting for the bio-data and immediately we called the maid...However I almost fainted cos this one was not able to understand and speak proper english too...I guess they don't care so much and will \"sell\" whatever they have on hand.....that is where we walked out of the agent and not wanting anymore of their replacement....

You should have said very loudly that these agents are blood suckers. If she intends to come back and work, should just try to find employers directly. hmmm, smash his ricebowl.

Haha..u really sound fierce...

hee hee....I still remain in shock how much maids have to pay to come out to work. Those pp (whether in home country or here) really suck blood.

A story to share....


Last week, my mum's maid received a call from her hometown. Her aunty was on the line telling her that her mother is sick. Asking her to go back.

So, my mum pity her and send her back this Monday. She told us she want to come back once settle her mother and will call us and confirmed within 3 to 7 days time. Yesterday, she called told us that her mother need more time to recover hence she is not coming back to Singapore.

My maid was crying and confessed to my mum that actually the mother is not sick. She(my mum's maid) is planing to go home to rest and sleep, she is tired of working and not coming back to my mum house to work.

After hearing of what my maid said....my parents were shocked cos the called from her aunty was plotted. She really a good actress. She can cried after answering the call :salute:

May be some of you will says my mum is too innocent believe her words.
But out of sympathyof her mother's sickness who will not 心軟。。。

Btw, she worked for a year.

Hi shine_fs,

Your mum did the right thing. Although it wasn't good feeling cheated, it's better to err on side of caution. when a maid don't want to work, and they are forced to continue, who knows what they may do? Just saw news of maid putting window cleaner in grandma's food - it's alright if no one ingest that poison - but if did, any amount won't make a person come back to life.

I don't know what I would have done. Probably would have asked the maid head on if she want to come back. Don't want to come back, I'll ask her to take out all her money and just go. If she said want to come back, I'll ask her to leave behind some money (bank account minimum is always a good excuse).

My mum's maid is single and have a 2 yrs old girl. But the bio-data din mention... :shock:

When we told the agency, they can only tell us that if the maid din indicate, they also can't do any cos they will not go all the way to their house to check.
