You first have to find out who is your MP on the Tampines newsletter.

From there, you will be able to know the Meet the people session.
On the very day, go and take a \"Q\" number and wait for your turn to meet the MP.

Oh no.... \"Meet the people\" session is over. What am I going to do ?

kiasimom:

Hmmm... if all else fails, you can consider going to your MP.

May I know how to obtain help from MP ?

Hi,


I was been retrenched by my ex-company due to lost of a major customer and the company practice is \"Last in First out\" as I was the last personnel to join the dept.

I'm back to work on 05.10.09 and balance 2 weeks M/L however they only reimbursement me 10.5 days due to HR Personnel claim they calculate by the working days. My 2 days Childcare Leave was been forfeited.

They jolly well know that I just delivered a baby and she is only 4mths old. All my ex-colleagues (including my ex-manager) also knew that I had employed a maid who had joined us for 4 days only. My eldest daughter will be attending PCF Sparkletots next year. All of the above cost us a BOMB and yet they choose to retrench me whereas the other 2 of my colleagues are financially stable.

Well..... The only reason I can think of was favourtism and discrimination.

During my pregnancy (1st Trimester) with my ex-company, my manager had been adding a lot of pressure on me. Even when I told her I need to take ½ day leave to see doctor (due to bleeding), she bang the drawer and slammed the file on her desk. (I admit I took Urgent Leave and Medical Leave quite frequently) One day I cannot stand the pressure added by my manager, I cried hysterically in front of my Gynae and he wanted to give me 3 days MC to rest at home but I’m afraid my manager will vent her anger at me again. Therefore, I took only ½ day (the same day I went to my Gynae) and reported work the following day. Out of goodwill, my Gynae even wrote a letter to my manager informing her that I needed a lot of rest. For the past 1 week, I'm down with depression and was crying almost every hour.

When I told my ex-manager I need to take leave on 04/01/10 & 05/01/10 due to school opening and I need to bring my child for orientation, she told me to discuss with my ex-colleague (as her kids also school re-open). My manager obviously is making things difficult for me, my ex-colleague insisted in taking 2 whole days Annual Leave hence there were simply no room for discussion. I told my ex-manager the same (as what my colleague told me), she gave me the annoying look until I begged her that I will only take ½ day leave on 04/01/10 then she approved my Annual Leave. I felt that I was been treated unfairly as in why my colleague can take 2 Full days Annual Leave whereas I have to beg for ½ day leave. There once whereby I told her I need to take leave the following day to source for new maid, she replied me sarcastically “I’m used to it.” We need to employ a maid urgently as our previous maid is leaving us therefore I have no choice but to apply Urgent Leave.

I received a sms from my HR Personnal asking for my 2nd child Birth Cert as I was too busy thus I simply forgot abt it. Until this morning, she called me again (when I was sleeping) and I told her I will returned her called. I rushed out of the house immediately as I was late for my appointment and I received 6 missed calls from my HR Personnel. Frankly speaking, who is able to hear their hp ringing when they are at a noisy place especially in Hawker Centre? Afterwhich, she dropped me an sms threatening me that she will bring up this issue to CPF Board if I refuse to produce the Birth Cert to her. I feel that she is incorrigible and childish. Seriously, I'm piss off by her sms because I didn't do it on purpose.

1) May I know which goverment body can I seek redress on the unfair treatment by my ex-manager?

2) What can I do with the stupid act of my HR Personnel ?

3) I strongly believe my retrenchment was pre-planned. May I know who can I raise my greviance to ?I had seek help from AWARE & MOM but to no avail.

Maybe the BO come from the maid. My previous 2 maids got BO leh

Hi!

I would suggest you bring her for 小儿推拿. The very famous one will be the one near to Kemangan MRT station. But i understand from some threads that there are some good ones around too. You probably have to bring her there once a week for the phelgm to clear.

Hi,
May I know is it at Kembangan Plaza ? May I have the address please ?

pineapple tarts:

You are so steady. If my maid does this, I will fire her immediately.

pineapple tarts,

Me too. I cannot imagine my maid bringing the Bangla home when no one is around or only my kids are at home. My blood pressue will shoot up if both of them Hanky Panky on my bed. :x

Sms at night ? Well... I confiscated my current maid hp. From my opinion, they are here to work and not for vacation. Since here to work, why does they need to carry a hp ? I might be inhumane but whenever I visualize my maid chit chatting on the hp and hack care my bb when she is crying hysterically then she cannot blame me for been cruel.

Hi,


My bb girl are pestering by the irritating phlegm for a period of time. Whenever she breath we can hear the "snoring" sound. Despite feeding phlegm medicine (prescribe by GP) and blowing into her nostrils, the phlegm are still stuck in her breathing pipe. May I know are there others way to get rid of the phlegm ?

Oh ya! fionong that's a good point there!! But will the maid agency sign there rules?


Thanks Andaiz for sharing. Actually after looking through Tamarind's rules, I realise my maid only adhere to 8 out of the 33 rules. New maid come will need more work!!

So far no maid agency refuse to sign the agreement.

If they want your business, I think they will sign.

I also set House Rules (as part of our Agreement) before she join us. I make both the Maid Agency & the Maid sign on the paper just in case she call up the agency or embassy to complain about us.


My previous maids taught me a lesson. They gladly took me for granted after 1/2yr stay with us. Once bitten twice shy.
