        Good transfer maids are rare. Everyone agrees that choosing a maid is like tikam. I hope all is well at your house by now.

            Now not many biodata available. It seems that many good ones went to HK and Taiwan. Recently just heard that Indonesia restricting their people from working only in certain countries. With so many negative news, guess getting a maid is not going to be easy in the near future.

              anyone can advise how is employers protected against "runaway maid"? i had a maid who worked for me just 1 week, then just run to embassy 1 early morning, with the housekey dangling from the lock on the gate…

              reason given by her to the embassy is that she wanted to change employer… that’s it… so now, she sitting at the agency waiting for new employer… what compensation can I get from the maid agency? other than a free replacement??

                    Is your maid Filo? Sorry for employers! No protection & insurance coverage for ran away maid.

                    Mine ran to embassy without locking my door, gate & close all windows. My whole laminated floor was flooded with rain water from 9am-9pm & I have to change most for the flooring under my own cost as this is not covered by insurance. Luckily i stayed in corner unit at pt block, otherwise I cannot image what will happened after leaving door easily access to public for 12hrs!

                    Maid is doing this because they know MOM will protect them on human rights & 99% break away from loan & contract bonds. MOM is aware of this issue but they cannot return maid to you if maid refuse to work for you. For my case, MOM asked if I am willing to transfer her & I said \"NO\" because by doing this I will not get my outstanding loan back. However after one week, I was informed by letter that her work permit was cancelled by MOM & being tranferred with temp permit to another employer. Thus I'm in a situation that I have to chase after maid agency on my outstanding money like loan shark as MOM mentioned that loan is not under their care.

                      maid employers are victims most of the time


                      MOM only protect the maid. MOM = Ministry of Maids
