How much would a budget ticket cost to fly her home?
How much would the levy cost you while waiting for the transfer? (and housing and food cost, if any) -

How did you check on MOM website? What details do you need?Yes, your friend is right. I sent my maid home last year, engaging an agent to pick and send her to airport. And that agent actually help to market her as I saw her profile in netmaid. When I checked mom history, true enough, she came back to sg within 3weeks from her departure date. I was the one who actually bought her ticket, just engaged an agent to send her to airport.
Agents also want to earn $$. -

Thanks. Will check it out.
Want to check whether my Indo exmaid is in Singapore. She gave me so many problems, under aged and pinched my younger child. Wrote to MOM cos was concerned that she might return to take care of young children or elderly, but to date, no response or enquiry from MOM. Letter probably tossed in bin. Am really disappointed with MOM. -

So... if an employer thinks that she'll save $$$ by sending maid (with no loan left) back to the agent instead of sending her home..... -

My good maid of 5.5 years recently gave us a shock. Last Sunday suddenly my husband received a phone call on his hand-phone from a man looking for her. Next, he called the home and I picked up the phone call. Turned out he was her boyfriend looking for her. I asked him why he called the home? He said maid not replying to his phonecall and he was serious about her blah..blah...so he called us. I told him sternly that I am her employer and told him to stop calling us or I will call the police! :mad:
Shortly after that, this Bangla guy started sending sms to my husband's handphone to \"spill the beans\". He disclosed two Facebook websites which supposedly belongs to my maid. Then he sms one photo showing them facing the camera tongue-to-tongue (yikes!) :skeptical: .
Spurned lover on a rampage - that was my conclusion. Although shocked but I can't say I am very surprised since my maid has been dressing up to the nines when she goes out on her off days. Though I gave her the benefit of the doubt since she told me she is going out with the girls or having birthday parties etc.
Questioned my maid when she came back and she told me for two years already she met this guy who worked on building a house further up the road (which means he knew where we stay) :scared: . The past two months she don't want him already so she was avoiding him. She said he has been threatening her that he would spill the beans to her employer if she did not meet him on her off days. So she was afraid to loose her job so she continued to meet him. I told maid I don't believe she met him out of fear (since she looked like having great fun in that tongue photo). I believe she has had her fun and that I believe no longer want him since being forced is no longer fun. So this guy carried out the threat to call the employer.
How he get the numbers? Oh, he just took maid handphone while they were eating lunch and he copied out all the numbers.
Husband asked maid how is she going to compensate us for all these trouble caused? Maid replied if we don't want her we can send her home.
(Does this sound like a repentant attitude to you? Somewhat disappointed to hear her answer. I expected her to answer something like she no longer will go out for a while or never to do it again etc. We will still give her a chance and help her. But she readily told us to send her back if we are not happy.)
Told her she is grounded for the next two months no Off days until we renew the contract successfully. Provided she is not pregnant nor having any VD. Also get her to change her hand-phone number immediately and we will be changing our home number soon. Also told her to tell her friends in case this guy ask that her employer has sacked her and she has balik kampung. We will also tell this Bangla. guy same story if he dares to call again.
Now furiously telling my hubby to instal CCTV to monitor the front gate.
From a sad employer who still like this maid as she works well (also the kids like her don't think they will take to other maid easily). Although pissed but also hoping she won't quit on us despite this problem.
What would you do if you encounter the same situation?
:sad:
