Very disturbed with so many Dormitories becoming hotbeds of infection!! Don’t give them masks but they are very involved in many aspects of our daily lives. Every day I walk pass many foreign workers due to the ongoing construction of the North South Corridor. Endanger my life and those who stay along these major construction projects.

Who is in-charge of the Dorm? Why never tighten preventive measures?

Whatever you do, avoid this list of 40 things you should never touch and keep coronavirus at bay. Then share it with someone you've been meaning to get in touch with.

[quote=tryyourbest.2 post_id=1969816 time=1585919527 user_id=184963]Do you still allow your helper to go out on weekend? Mine still insist she wants to go out and argued that MOM did not state it is mandatory for them to stay at home.

Is your helper fr The Philippines? Anyway, get her to read MOM Advisory to Foreign Domestic Worker:-

https://www.mom.gov.sg/newsroom/press-releases/2020/0325-measures-to-prevent-congregations-of-foreign-workers-and-foreign-domestic-workers

If she is out, she is not to congregate but just get her errands done quick & return home & if happen to meet frds & forget abt social distancing, “MOM will take action to disperse them as an added precaution. MOM will step up inspections on the ground. Workers who do not cooperate will have their work passes revoked.” There were WP cancelled for some alr.

Thanks Esteema. She is Philippino and I find that they are really quite stubborn. In fact, I already asked her to read this advisory from MOM and she can still say that it does not mean she cannot go out right. She also told me there are only 5 to 6 people in her usual clique of friends. Her friends’ employers allow them to go out too. You can imagine how tough it is trying to reason out with them. I hope MOM officers will do a good job in dispersing these helpers. I believe there are other employers who are in the same situation as me. If I can lock her up, I will but ...... sigh![/quote]Meet boyfriends? Looking at the number of infected cases from the Dorm clusters, I won’t be surprised if these Foreign workers may have passed the virus to their maids girlfriends whom they meet on their off days, and the maids then bring the virus home! Oversight? Maids under which minister’s care?

Meet boyfriends?

Maids under which minister’s care?[/quote]if maids happen to catch virus from their friends on their off day, go hospital,
who pay for their hospital bill ? Employer ?

For Covid-19, ah gong foots the bills.


Guess employer’s biggest headache is, whether the helper has passed the virus to them and/or their kids. The family effectively becomes close contacts.

Merry Go Round!

But if the Maid urgently need to remit $ salary back home to their own family overseas, because their family members no $ to eat, and their off day Is the only day where they are free to run such critical errand / transaction , employer has to let them go out, remit $ home.

I find some of the non Singaporean really unbelievable in terms of social distancing…kids from different families go for outing, a group of cyclists on the road yesterday, downstairs so loud yesterday…celebrating no work/no school from next week mah?? maybe not yet official date, hope these will stop from next week…sigh…

Yesterday went Popular Bookstore after dinner. Had to take temperature, queue up, wait for one customer to exit before another customer allowed to enter. Mum told me over at her area, the Minimart downstairs also doing the same preventative measures.


I wonder what’s so special about NTUC that they DO NOT LIMIT the number of customers flooding in? It’s soooooo packed that there’s effectively no social distancing, except in the queue to pay and the risks of infection are high.
