We only one way. Guess I will give $20 also. My in-laws were suggesting $10-$20 too but told me that was during their time. Give and take inflation, $20 should be just nice ba.

any of u keep your maid’s ang pow for them like keeping their salary in the bank?


i have come across few frens who kept their maid’s salary, even pocket money only when maid need to buy toiletries or whatever then give it to them. Reason is such that if lost any monies at home, the 1st person to check is the maid and if monies are found on her means she stole it.

I tink dat’s a good way but I am not sure if I shld do it???
