Then why not grant her the Singapore Citizenship when she’s 21 and can give up her PRC Citizenship?


My Malaysian colleague who’s a PR here think this is unfair.

I have booked a tour package to go to Korea and I’m thinking of bringing my Indonesian domestic helper along as an incentive trip for her. However, the tour agent has discouraged as they claimed that the process of visa application is very troublesome. On the other hand, my domestic helper has claimed that her friend’s boss brought her friend to Korea and the visa application was easily.


Anyone brought your Indonesian domestic helper to Korea before? Would appreciate if you can share your experience.

Thank you very much

Have we ever consider why our Educational System or other policies have failed to produce local talents? Why the taxpayers’ monies are used to attract foreigners and not built our children?
