女佣出走不干　女雇主闹自杀

不堪女佣出走，找上中介所闹自杀的女雇主，事后被警方押走。


女佣一声不响走掉不干，女雇主担心两孩子没人照顾，竟在中介所门前闹自杀，惊动警员到场，并将她逮捕！

这起闹自杀的事件，昨天下午4时许发生在后港豪格林购物廊2楼的一家女佣中介所。据了解，想要寻短的女雇主34岁，住在盛港一带，家中有一个11岁的儿子和一个4岁的女儿，还有一个71岁的老母亲，而跟她工作的女佣来自印度尼西亚，现年29岁。

女佣中介所的一位女负责人告诉记者，该女佣今早回到中介所，表示不想再为这名女雇主工作。女雇主接到女佣中介所的电话后，在昨午3时许敢到中介所了解情况。

介绍所女负责人说，因为“雇主和女佣之间有误会”，所以3方在商谈时没有谈拢。由于中介所一时之间无法安排另一个女佣取代走掉的女佣，女雇主也许感到压力倍增，一时想不开，才会在介绍所门前闹跳楼。

记者抵达现场后，发现印尼籍女佣在中介所的一个小房间内，呆呆的依靠在墙边的椅子上，一动也不动。完整报道，请翻阅24.02.2011《联合晚报》。

Princess_n_Prince_T:

anyone can advise how is employers protected against \"runaway maid\"? i had a maid who worked for me just 1 week, then just run to embassy 1 early morning, with the housekey dangling from the lock on the gate...

reason given by her to the embassy is that she wanted to change employer... that's it... so now, she sitting at the agency waiting for new employer... what compensation can I get from the maid agency? other than a free replacement??

Is your maid Filo? Sorry for employers! No protection & insurance coverage for ran away maid.

Mine ran to embassy without locking my door, gate & close all windows. My whole laminated floor was flooded with rain water from 9am-9pm & I have to change most for the flooring under my own cost as this is not covered by insurance. Luckily i stayed in corner unit at pt block, otherwise I cannot image what will happened after leaving door easily access to public for 12hrs!

Maid is doing this because they know MOM will protect them on human rights & 99% break away from loan & contract bonds. MOM is aware of this issue but they cannot return maid to you if maid refuse to work for you. For my case, MOM asked if I am willing to transfer her & I said \"NO\" because by doing this I will not get my outstanding loan back. However after one week, I was informed by letter that her work permit was cancelled by MOM & being tranferred with temp permit to another employer. Thus I'm in a situation that I have to chase after maid agency on my outstanding money like loan shark as MOM mentioned that loan is not under their care.

hi chilram,

mine that run away was indo.. yes now all maids are very well informed, they know they can go to MOM or embassy if they are unhappy with their employers..
u can get another replacement maid whereby the outstanding loan will be passed over to her... this is what my agency practised...was this stated in the contract?

It seems that many good ones went to HK and Taiwan. Recently just heard that Indonesia restricting their people from working only in certain countries. With so many negative news, guess getting a maid is not going to be easy in the near future.

verykiasu2010:

my good one had turn bad; so, sent back liao
aiyoh. Yah I know, cannot take anything for granted.

My this maid, been with me for 6yrs now.

Am actually maidless now cos she went back to get married. Before she left she scrubbed my house from top to bottom and stocked up my daily necessities. She nagged at my kids to be more auto so that I won't be too stressed when she is not here. She insists that she will be back but I will not be surprise either if she changes her mind.

I did however tell her that when she comes back, it better not be plus 1. 😓

I think there are a fair number of decent maids around but pple just tend to highlight the bad and rant about it but never really mention the good.

well, if one that is honest and no black face; PLUS sensible, PLUS clean...I consider myself to have struck toto...top prize, sole winner.


(see how low my expectations have gone)

:rotflmao:

In that case, I struck toto top prize, sole winner and also big sweep plus 4D 1st, 2nd & 3rd prize.

My maid, honest, no black face, very sensible, std of cleanliness & hygiene at times higher then mine, has initiative, quite a decent handiwoman, cooks well, can sew, budgets for groceries better then me, willing to learn.

When we are out, she is forever ready with antiseptic wipes to clean my kids' hands before they reach for their drinks or food. She will wipe down all the forks and spoons and bowls, especially those that the kids will be using.

From day one, I did not really have to tell her what to do. She has a lot of freedom but never abused it and even chased a potential burgler away from our house

I think she may have caused one major problem though. I have no idea how her successor is ever gonna fill her shoes when she goes back for good.

wow Funz, lucky you. You have a perfect maid. :rahrah: :rahrah:
