        Can anyone share with me how to close the bank a/c and ask her to leave on the same day ?

        Will she run away while bringing her to the bank ?

          That’s the reason why I never like to open savings a/c for maid. I always give cash for salary. This way sending her off will be less hassle. All these I picked up from my 10 years of hiring maids.

            Better check with your agent. They can advise better.

              If she runs away while going to the bank then she's crazy. Running off without her money? With no job? If you really think she might do that just point her in the direction of Geylang and tell her that's where she will end up before a trip to Changi Prison if she does that!

                  I actually persuaded FDW to open a POSB personal savings acc, luckily haven't done yet, cos she worry I eat her money, will keep quiet and not say anything in case.....

                    i sent my 1st maid (a transfer) directly to the police station after having her for 10 wks when we discovered we lost a lot of things and some money here and there. The things she stole was enough to fill up a big takashimaya paper bag! I just packed her luggage including all that she stole from us. She didnt put up a fight nor cry.


                    Agency initially asked me to pick another maid but I insisted on making a police report. Long story short, she was jailed 6 weeks and during her jail term, she was hopsitalised 2 nights. The bill cost me $ 1700+. At the end of it, we still had to buy her single way plane tix home!!!

                    EPIC: I met her previous employer at police station. She told me her MIL in coma died from dehyration 2 wks after my maid was transferred out. Apparently the maid didnt feed the old lady! Imagine this ex-employer just sent the maid back to agency for a new replacement. :mad:

                        It was 6 yrs ago now. I will try to dig up the old files of her WP and blacklist her. It wasnt just simple stealing issue here that I sent my maid to police. I found 10 knives hidden in her luggage!

                        I complained so much about the maid until my mother asked me to go write a book :slapshead:

                        :stompfeet: Imagine if we had any fierce confrontation with her, she might killed us in the night with 1 of the 10 knives!
