Myanmar maids
-
Hi,
I have a question here… please kindly advise…
Let’s say you go to the agent and tell him you want a burmese maid, after employing for say, a month, can you say you want to change to indo/pinoy maid? or must you "stick" to burmese maid until end of contract?
I have not employ any maid yet, but trying to find out more…
Thanks in advance! -
No need to keep 2 Yrs. U cn change to any nationality if u find t Burmese unsuitable … The only thing is sometimes agent may ask f a bit more money if y choose frm phillippines n she’s fresh.
No one is obliged to keep a maid 2 Yrs if she’s unsuitable -
I am sending my current maid back. Cannot endure her stupidity and forgetfulness anymore.

I have never sent back any maid until recently. Even though the myammar maid I had was not very hard working, and did not keep my house clean, I continue to endure it. But something happen and we decided to send her back. And now I look back, it is probably a right decision. My house has been much cleaner now. The floor is nice to step on.

The straw that broke the camel was the glass shrapnel from my perfume bottle that she broke. I stepped on it and cut myself. I can endure forgetfulness and lying but it is another thing when she used a floor towel to wipe the glass pieces off my bathroom floor, carried the towel off to the other toilet to shake the glass pieces off and then hung the towel on the balcony.
She has also repeatedly put paper/cardboard near the stove. My kitchen is windy and I have repeatedly told her not to do that in case the paper catches fire from the stove.
These are not all the dangerous and stupid things - and she has the cheek to give justifications. -
hi 1amber,
gosh, this is bad. Yes, I notice that their commonsense is different from ours. So far, I’m lucky in that mine’s still amenable to reason (she won’t justify if i ask her to do things differently). But yes, there are times when my mum complains that she’s really quite block head in the way things are done - have to console her that she has many things to learn.
In your case, good riddance. Hope you get one with more sense and good attitude!! -
Thanks hquek. I certainly hope so.

Hi 1amber,
Whatever your maid is doing it’s super dangerous. Hope you will find a better maid. Good luck! -
Take care 1amber… Hope u are ok… You did the right thing… Better change before more accidents happen…

why did MOM allow Burmese maids to be brought into Singapore ? Evidently they are not suited to work in this country in this environment.
i think at least those Anhui aunties are better
