Suspect my maid has PT job on Sundays

It's fair enough but to provide so detailed information (they also ask what time the maid will be at her moonlighting place) is quite unachievable. I can't possibly following her around. She travels by bicycle so I guess it's quite in the neighbourhoods. What if I follow her and she turns around and accused me of stalking her? This will make a police report against me.
Well, base on evident is fair isn't? The MOM is going to send their staff to catch her red handed, that's already the best they could do..... Don't tell me you expect the MOM to persecute the maid base on your words? :?
You can do your part by providing the name of the maid and the address of the alleged moonlighting.
I thought I can only report against the maid.. if happen I know where she works and I gave MOM her part-time address, will that house owner will be charged too? -

In my case, I don't want to loose my current maid.. but I want to get rid of that maids that sharing the part-time contacts with my maid. I'm so lost!!
We will terminate our maid's contract when her loan is cleared. So her moonlighting days are numbered. That's the only consolation for me. -

Since the detailed info such as time, block & unit no. of workplace is quite hard to obtain, so it's means we can't do anything about it.
But if there's no detailed information or what, what can MOM do about it?
I was hoping at least MOM issue a letter to the maid (since i have given them the name, address and unit no of her residence) to remind her again that such thing is illegal. Not just a simple \"no we cannot help you on this issue\" -
I believed if anything will to happen to the maid the current employer (the actual employer) will have to face the problem. Overall we are at the losing end.
Is there anyway out to protect ourself from getting all the unnecessary trouble? -

I don't see why her employer would get into trouble if the employer is unaware that the maid moonlights (but if she has given permission to the maid..then she would be in trouble too).I believed if anything will to happen to the maid the current employer (the actual employer) will have to face the problem.

But the maid and the part-time employer have both gone against regulations/ law. They are the ones who should be in trouble. -
Anyway no point playing guessing game. The best is to check with MOM.

You can ask them to stop the sharing of PT contacts or you will inform their employer and report them. Sometimes a little scare tactic work. If you know their employers, you might want to keep them informed. If it was my maid who was encouraging others to work PT, I'd want to be told. Better to be told by a stranger/ neighbour than by an MOM officer.

Errr... I heard fr my other neighbour that her employer knows about her (A) part-time job, in fact fr what I heard her employer (E) is not paying her salary... means she stays in E's house do general housework etc (E also rent out her rooms to foreign workers) then in A's free time go out to houses to earn $$. One house at least $200/mth (4 times a mth @ $50/time). In fact, E control which houses she will go to work. because somebody actually ask A for her service and A said to contact her mam and give her number. Then E will contact the potential customer.

Let say your maid get caught moonlighting, then MOM questioned both the maid and her Employer (you)ā¦
MOM : You do know moonlighting is illegal. Why still you do it?
Maid : My mam knows about it
Mam (you): My maid did it behind my back.
Who will MOM believe?
