      [quote="huanghou"]After getting the 1st one from Chin, I was advised to try one from nearer China border. All these are far away from Yangon. But no use. I think wisdom has nothing to do with getting suitable maids. You cannot interview them. Photos are not useful. Unless you get a transfer maid whom you can interview face to face.[/quote


      The Chin state is very big and with different dialects, most of the problematic maids come from Chin. My last 2 were frm there, my past agent had the most problems with maids frm Chin state.

            If there were only 2 maids in the world to choose I’d choose my Chin one - "gong gong gila gila", over the La Shio (near China) one who was "hao lian" lazy.

              just to give an update, i had just fired my bermese maid and sending her back tmr. don’t have energy to explain my bad experience with her despite i treated her so nicely.


              her flight is tmr morning, i informed her last night. and guess what is her response when she heard i am sending her back. she said, ‘huh, i don’t want to go back, mdm MUST send me back to agent, why mdm nvr tell me early, if you tell me early i can still ask agent to find me another job. like that i don’t want, i will lose $$ if i go back and come again. mdm MUST call my agent. cannot lah, mdm CANNOT do like that’

              if MOM is still open at that time, i will call for the officier to bring her get out of my house. SO DARING to blame me. not even bother to ask if she did anything wrong. I felt breatheless talking to her, as a expecting mummy with a 7 mth baby in my tummy, i tried my best to control my temper. i told her, i am so nice to give you earlier notice, still allow you to go out today to exchange $ and go shopping. You don’t appreciate all these, i should had followed singapore standard, tell you on the spot and send you off.

              i am so glad that i made a decision choose to have a maidless life. she looked like a nice girl but in fact, damn stubborn and rude. no respect at all. so wish anyone saw my post, will give up the idea of hiring a bermese maid. they are not worth the $$. they don’t really want to be a maid here. Don’t waste your time & $$. their problems are more serious than other nations.

                  Should hv told her last minute since her response is such… just hope she board the plane, better tell her she is cancelled and now illegal and the agent handled her departure or else she may think the agent is her saviour

                    thanks 1amber, my nightmare is finally over. i should had taken a photo of my maid this morning. she took half an hour to do her make up, wear a red color dress with black stocking, and a new pair of sparkling shoes she bought yesterday. Big round earinings and necklace, carried a fashionable sling bag and her 15kg luggage with full bag of clothes she brought over from her home town last time. 2/3 of them i did not even see her wearing before. I bet no one can tell she is a maid. more kua chang than those filipino.


                    i roughly cleaned my house before sending my girl to her childcare. on the way to office, i told my hubby i felt so excited. he said with this experience next time must be careful. i told him no no, no next time, i will nvr ever want a maid no matter how. at least bermese is definitely a NO NO.

                        My relatives burmese is leaving tomorrow evening and shes 4 months pregnant, she just registered her marriage and held a ceremony last week and is off tomorow to see her family after 5 yrs. Well she spent some time training my relatives new maid. Alto the new maid has a wide experience behind her, my relative still trust her burmese , she has proven herself a trustworty person and alto she may not be the best in housework., shes the most trustworthy, she does not steal n is very straight. Sad loss but she really wants ahusband n a family all this while.
