I have an Indo maid available for immediate transfer. She was taking care of my dad for almost 4 years until he passed on recently.

She stayed alone with my dad, handled general house work, go grocery shopping and prepare meals. She took good care of him from when he was ambulatory, to when he needs to sit in a wheelchair, and finally when he was bedridden.

She is a reliable help, able to bring him to his medical appointment. Able to change diaper, sponge him, give medicine promptly and is trained by a care nurse to give injection.

She can communicate fairly well in English and is trustworthy. I am releasing her for transfer as I do not need her assistance anymore. Her preference is to look after elderly as she has the experience in this area.

Update: she has found an employer
Thank you

If any of yr helper still available, pls Pm me. My frd is looking for a helper urgently & I can’t help her myself at this moment. No agents involved.

I am also looking, preferably with experience looking after elderly. Please pm me if you have anyone to recommend. Thanks.

Thanks for the insights.

Generally speaking, is it easier to transfer from a "good school" to another "good school" than from an "average school" to a "good school"? Thank you.

My dd was in a preschool located in an industry park. The school is fully air-conditioned. Just recently I found the center has no ventilation facility. All the air-change is via the main door and an rear door, which are closed at most of time.


I feedback this issue to the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) and got a reply in about one week. Currently MEWR started an investigation on this with The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), and will find the plan to advise preschools.

Here are some points I got:
1 Singapore has two standards for air-conditioned indoor air quality. (ss 553 & ss 554). This standards are same as ASHRAE 62.1 (latest version 2016), which is from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
2 In Singapore indoor air quality is not regulated. The standards serve as a guideline.
3 The MEWR will work with ECDA for a guideline for preschools.
4 The MEWR may consider to regulate the indoor air quality later.

Per ASHRAE 62.1-2016 page 13, the minimum ventilation rate for classroom (ages 5-8) is 5 L/s-person, which is 5 liters per second per person. Suppose the child has 3 m^2 are in the classroom and the height of the classroom is 4m, the time for all the air to be replaced (suppose no mix-up) is 4*3*1000/5 = 2400 second = 40 minute.

I visited a few preschools, per my memory, most of them do not have ventilation consideration except one located in a shopping center which served by the shopping center air-con.

Since the outcome of MEWR is just a guideline, it may depends on each preschool to decide whether to follow or not.

My post is just reminder for parents to check whether the preschool of your dd/ds has this issue.

Hi, any idea for centralised air con in shopping centre / industrial building / office building, if the other tenants are dealing with pollutants like vocs or smoking in their units or toilets, will the air be recirculated and affect the air of the childcare centre in such a building? Thanks.

Thank you for all the replies. We can't rent out the rooms only if we are not living there. We have already lowered the rents according to the prevailing market rate. I had 1 Malaysian and 1 Singaporean family who were keen but they had poor financial history and looked likely to be unable to pay the monthly rent so we gave them a miss. The Malaysian family asked if he could sublet the rooms to his relatives to reduce his financial burden. The Singaporean family of three had no stable income.


My flat is in Punggol. A lot of the flats there are up for rental after the MOP. My block is the worst hit; my neighbour has told me she is seeing more and more foreigners in our block!

Thank you for all your replies.

Hi, sent you a pm. Thanks.
