      Is she granted for full medical checkup by your relative? I think there is a guideline by MOM of what is the minimum criteria for maids.

        No...the check up is just to test for pregnancy.
        That maid is really a pain.

        My aunty is trying to arrange for grandmother to stay in nursing home when discharged. Then will send maid back to agency, as grandmother will need to stay at a home and doesn't need anymore maid.

          Good and bad. Nursing home costs is much higher compare to hiring maid. But on the other hand, having maid to look after old folks may not be well taken care off.

            Grandmother with dementia went out of the house while maid was in the room...she fell down and bruised herself. Aunt asked maid if she heard grandmother going out. Maid said she heard but lazy to go out to chase her.

              My grandmother's yaya papaya Filipino maid is on everyone's nerves.


              Recently the maid had to go for her regular checkup...when she came back, she told my mum she wanted to go for full medical checkup.

              Then she wanted to eat Prima laksa...the first packet was bought by aunty for my grandmother. Maid ate it...wanted to eat again. Aunty told her to get from supermarket. Maid said she cannot find it :slapshead: This maid is damn cunning and lazy.
              Prima Laksa?everywhere has it.I even found it fr. small ah ma groceries shop.Buy her laksa paste(Ayam brand) n coconut milk,ask her to mix herself,like that cheaper.

                last yr,there were few cases of nurses tortured old folks.Remember the case the old woman was being left naked on her bed?

                how old is the maid? sound to me she is quite fat,cannot move.....

                  The point is not Prima laksa…the point is she is not doing what is she paid to.

                  $500 a month to look after an elderly…ok, I admit my grandmother is no honey bunny. But this Filipino maid is overboard. She is blunt, rude and lazy…she is not fat.
                  Hopefully aunt is able to get a good and reliable recommendation for nursing home ASAP. Then can bunk this hopeless yaya papaya off.

                    No way would I keep a maid with that attitude.
                    You're lucky that grandma did not sustain serious injury. Or get lost.
                    It would have been bad enough if the maid was unaware that the old lady had walked out. But she knew but couldn't be bothered to stop her... :censored:

                      Best part is that maid had the cheek to say that she was lazy to chase after her…she claimed she was wearing PJ and lazy to change…alamak, it’s not that she was wearing some sexy lingerie…who wants to see her.

                      Grandmother had bruises on her knee and pain on her back…fortunately not serious.

                      This hopeless maid…better bunk her off…it would be shiok if she gets employer who stays in bungalow…then she can’t be lazy.

                        wow…super irresponsible maid…


                        its a blessing that grandmother did not injure herself badly or lost her way as she has dementia…

                        really hate to think what will happen if this maid is allowed to take care of young ones…

                        she is a walking talking disaster…better to let her go immediately…
                        she does not deserve the $500 or to work at all…
