      Check out this.

      http://www.westernunion.com/info/osMoneyTransfer.asp?country=SG

      I seriously don't think she need to send to a bank account leh. But she'll probably need a bodyguard when she pick up her money.

      STEP 1: Visit an Agent location
      Provide the Agent with the following information:


      The Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) from your Sender's receipt is required.

      Sender's first and last names.

      City and country the money was sent from.

      The amount that was sent.

      Your first and last names, address, and telephone number.




      STEP 2: Identify Yourself
      Simply give the Agent your identification card.


      STEP 3: Sign the Receipt
      Review and sign the receipt that the Agent gives you.


      STEP 4: Receive the Money
      The Agent will give you the money that was sent to you with a copy of the receipt and you are on your way.

        Thanks hquek and LKVM.


        So she will need to be present to effect the WU transfer? Or can I do it on her behalf?? 😛 I’ll try to pop into the SingPost outlets to check later during lunch… thanks! Then again, its a big amount… so sure kena high transfer fee!

          Hi,

          Was reading…seems like many of the maids will ask to go home almost soon after the loan is paid off. So was wondering…

          I thot I saw a Chinese documentary about 9 months ago talking about difficulty in attracting maids to SG. (not sure as I wasn’t really paying attention back then). Seems like the agents were recruiting maids and some would dangle a reward ranging from RP 1-5 million to those who agree to come SG to work.
          Not sure is this true…or I saw/heard wrongly or what…dunno how to verify too. If this is true, maybe that’s why the maids are running off the moment the loan is cleared cos’ they have already secured the reward…but then again, seems very stupid and short-sighted cos’ RM 5 million is only about S$700+? If they continue to complete contract, will earn much more won’t they?

          Anyone can verify?

              Actually I don't think she'll need to be there, but I will bring her. Don't want to be responsible for writing wrongly...as you said, it's a big amount.

              I think there is one day of the week Singpost is open late...is it today? not sure if I'm wrong.

                That's why most will finish off the loan first.....once loan finish, the reward is secured immediately ie. dun have to even work further and still have money.
