All About Full-Time Maids

[Chu Liu Xiang]

Now now the issue of stopping Indo maids coming here.


According to today's Straits Times apparently S'pore is still not on the list of approved countries whereby the maids can work. The Indo side is still working on it. Apparently their criteria is on how their maids were abused in the country where they work.

But it seems strange that Indo maids were recently banned from Saudi Arabia & Malaysia due to high abuse rate and yet these 2 countries are on their approved list. Hmmmm......countries of the same flock will come together, right?

I think their criteria of maid abuse is plain taurus excreta. It can be seen clearly that since there's no maid ban to S'pore then S'pore is obviously a good choice to work in. And, topping this, the economic situation is bad now so why deprive of their citizens from working in just 4 countries? IMO, what the Indo gov want is to get S'pore to increase the maid salary and have the option of housing them in separate outside dormitories.

Depending on how our gov will react to the sudden maid crunch situation (if it really happens) I believe our side may bend to some of their conditions. In the longer terms it's still better for our gov to open up more markets for maids so that we'll not be strangle by our neighbouring countries.

My maid of 9 years have been very naggy the last year or so…really getting onto my nerve these days that I will just get out of the house with kids…guess I am like that as well so maid also like that…think she is really tired of her job…She is good so I am really torn in between of letting her go or keeping her…she is my first and only maid so far…

Keep the old Maid if she is still bearable, it’s no fun to go through e trouble of new maid.

[happy to be mum]

but what if they always think they can get better than your home? i given my maid alot, every sundays off, x’mas, good friday, extra here and there and just because of a small lecture she wants a transfer…so let her be lor…


yes…it is definitely a hassle to get a new one esp. if current maid does not has any major faults. Like what my gf said…the lucky maids dunno they are lucky until they meet a nasty employer and they know. I let mine go…and wish her all the best. Just have to pray…hope I will be "heng" lol

Anyone knows the procedure to change maid & how much more I need to fork out? My current maid of 3 months still has 3 more months of loan to be clear. If I am employing her replacement, do I get to carry forward her loan & top up the balance for the new maid loan? Pay for insurance again etc?

Anyone can advise me? I need to change my maid.

I suggest you check with your agent? He/she should be able to advise you in details

Dh also said to bear with it. My maid does not dare to talk terms and condition. Last yr, we nearly let her go after I got upset with her over hp issue, but now seemed to be ok, or should I say I closed one eye. Dont think I will change maid, but I will rather be maid less if I let her go.

Hi Breadandmuffins,
What is it that your maid nags about? :?
Just want to know about \"old maids\" because mine is 4 years with me already and going on another 2.
Since old maid, thought should be so comfortable with each other already.
Did your maid just recently started nagging?
