      Hi Lynn2010


      You will be doing others a favour by sending her home.

      My myan maid, I put up with her rubbish for 7 months. When her loan paid up, she asked to have hand phone, I told her, contract says no hp and let her speak to agent that told her the same thing.

      I was planning to send her home after her loan paid up, was thinking of how to talk to her to avoid her running away in case she refuse to leave sg. The day after the no hp talk, she told me she not happy want to go home. Thank God she open her mouth first…I bought one way ticket to yangon and send her home.

            Are u refering to the slf green at Bkt Timah Shopping centre? I f so I was at one of the agencies nearby them and he commented that SLf green promised him a maid that never turned up and they dont honour their word. He actually gave up on them and switched agent. That was a a year ago 😄

              Oh... so maybe not a good choice then...but they promise no offday and no hp which other agencies didn't really commit. Empty promises??

                [/quote]i guess with 3 demerit points and genuine comments frm an ex customer its better not to take the risk.... u may be successful with first maid but dont know what will happen whn u encounter problems later.
                Well, MoM has mde it clear for us to check agent so think u shuld try else where.
                I have never used them but which agent can really contol a maid frm using a hp and my guess is no off days only during the loan period, u probably got to compensate the maid later, sounds like the agent is not telling all.

                  Burmese maids also tend to have bigger ego (or is it pride?), cannot scold or correct them too much. Must talk nicely to them and have lots of patience and tolerance with them.



                  Very true! I notice that not only with mine but with 3 other relative with burmese maids. Im still in the midst of changing mine and will have to put up with another burmese. 😢

                  I had empolyed so far 3 Burmese maid. My 2nd maid has very big ego, as she come from big city and rich family has maid at home. Present maid come from villages, but I face commuication problem with her, as she can't read or speak English (almost fail her entry test). She also can't read her own language, but so far she is my best maid out of 10+ I had. I will say everything is still luck. I had very experience with one of Indo maid, she is almost the misstres of my house and extra big ego. She will throw my food away, if I should said remark on her cooking. She decied whatever my family should eat, else we will have no food. She does not allow me to step into the kitchen. She will go for her own marketing without asking your permission. Thus Indo maid is out for my family.

                    I think I just had it with my maid… Not only she holds Hp daily, now she tells that her bones ache every morning that’s why she can’t get up at 6 or 6.30am to do work. She goes to bed by 9.30pm daily wo fail. She can’t clean well n needs to be told to do things in a nice way if not her fragile feelings are hurt… She s slow w work.

                    I told her that if she can’t handle the work then she better pack up n go home. I think I rather do the work myself than to rely on helper like her.
                    I sleep at midnight everyday except Fridays coz by then I ll be so shacked out by early mornings n late nights, I can barely keep my eyes open by 11pm. Plus I hv to wake at 4pm to give milk to my youngest who sleeps with us. And I am much older than her… Taking abt aching bones like 70 year old lady. These youngsters hv no idea what aching bones are like yet…

                      seem like burmese maids are generally not a good choice, compared to indonesian ones

                        Of all my maids, myan maid was my worst. When she was here, she can’t do anything. I train like crazy. Gave my child Panadol when child is not even sick, scald my girl’s hand with hot soup. When she left, she gave me another round of hell. So I swear I won’t look for myan maid anymore.


                        The best maid of all, is still my Indonesian maid. If I were to put attitude and everything else aside, based on solely the ability to work in a house Indonesian still top my list, follow by Philip maid. This is based on my past experience with my three maids nationality.
