      In fact I does have a trustable maid agency on-hand but located in the west, too far from my place.


      Haiz… Really upset that our current maid wanted to leave us. Last year told us she will definitely stay put with us for another 2 years, today told us she wanna leave. Just because our neighbour maid told her that there are more better opportunities in Europe which make her dream of going over there. I even caught her with lots of newspaper cutting of those agencies who are helping domestic helper to work in European Countries.

        3 of my colleagues had received "notice" from their helpers that they want to go home or request to go back to agency for a transfer hoping to get better pay.

          Since you have a trustable agency, maybe its worth the effort to travel and go back to them if their service standard meet your requirement. Its hard to find such an agency. Most of them will over promised and under deliver just to secure your biz.

            I did informed them to keep a lookout for me.
            According to them, there will be a drastic changes in all the charges from 1st April (inform by MOM). And also Indon and Pinoy Agencies are not willing to release the bio-datas to Singapore due to they are demanding for salary range between S$450 - S$500.
            Therefore I think I better go for more options in case they fail me. :oops:

              Wah, heng ah. My helper decided to stay on after her contract ends in Aug. Save me all the headache. She was supposed to go back to get married. But I think she cannot bear to leave DS yet. She said she wants to be here when he goes to primary school.

                    raynreg, that’s terrible to hear. The Indonesian side really cause so much problem for us. It reminds me of the sand ban again. It goes to show how a little change in plan from neighbour country can cause ripples in our country.


                    Don’t these maids know that they break the contract they must pay??Or don’t they need to pay??

                      Can help to share what is the term of your renewal with her?

                      Thanks 🙂
