Indonesian Maids’ monthly salaries increased from S$380 to S$450, that’s like ~20%!


Zzzz. how come our salaries never increment so much…

Now the Indos maids will ‘cost’ the same as the others… …

I think the increase in salary for the indo maids is insane. The quality of new maids have not gone up but the salaries keep increasing. This is unfair to us employers!

Why is there such a HUGE increase ? The quality hasn't gone up but their pay has. Even hubby's pay doesn't increase as fast as maids. I pity women who are working...huge % has gone to maintaining a maid...excluding food and accomodation and ATTITUDE.

Hopefully government can reduce the maid levy as soon as possible to help employer cover this huge increase.

My maid need to go home urgently as her dad fell into a coma yesterday. Can anyone tell me if I need to go to embassy to do all the paperwork to ensure that she can come back or is it just a matter of booking a ticket and sending her home?


Please advise as I hope to send her home asap.

thanks!!

Maid from Indonesia?

Need to get a ‘chop’ from Indonesia embassy. Do go to their website and check the operating hours. I remember I had to go back and collect the passport the next day.
Please adhere to their dress code stated on their website. I was asked to loan their sarong cos i was wearing 3/4 pants.
