Hi John Yeo


Seems like the Organization's Website is down for revamp, the Admin Officer told me.

But apparently I can find them on https://www.facebook.com/AskiGlobalLtd, and looking through their photo albums and their updates.

Seems like they offered a few courses for our Domestic Helper in Singapore, not only just Domestic Helpers, but they included other nationalities as well, such as Sri Lanka & Indonesian. (Judging from their photo albums)

Oh!! By the way, the Admin Officer informed me, that they have a joint project with Metro Foundation from Philippines, to provide courses for the our domestic helpers. I will give you the link over https://www.facebook.com/AskiGlobalLtd/app_151086688341783

I will call the office and arrange my domestic helper to go down their office for the enrollment. By the way, their operation hours is Sunday till Thursday, 9am till 6pm.

Such a weird timing, to work on a Sunday but I can understand as our Domestic Helpers only have Sunday as their off day.

Thanks Shiroi Ryuu. Will definitely check it out... looks like now got more things for my helper to learn...

Anyone just renewed passport for their MYNMAR maid recently?

How to go about doing it?
think 1-2 years ago, some parents did post here but wnodering any changes,
especially with the recent rapid change in Mynmar government and their economies.
very worried about what questions they may ask my maid
supposed to pay tax etc..
& Mynmar govt actually do not allow their people to come+work as maids.
so what are we supposed to fill in as their job huh??

I intend to bring her go renew end May/early june.

Hope to get some advice here!!
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Desertwind, you mentioned that the boyfriend is aware of your address so even though your helper & your home number are changed, he could still track if your helper is around despite sending the \"message\" around that she had been sent home.

Hi piyobaby,

You are right, so for last Sunday and today (public holiday presumably off days), we got out of the house and kept maid with us. Also will not let her be alone at home. Have also changed the home phone and will be installing grills on top of the door at the back garden soon. Hopefully by taking all these drastic measures the spurned lover would be \"appeased\". He has to in order for him to stop pestering us. Can only work if maid and her girlfriends don't sabo themselves. She has to keep out of sight and contacts.

I am prepared to call the police anytime there is any \"wind blow grass move\".

The tax portion is only until 2011. Now the Myanmar passport is for 5 years.
