    The Inspectorate officers are the pple who go around and "catch" maids working in businesses or shops..and then they will put up maids with some agents for transfer purposes. These maids caught usually are no fault of theirs and somehow, alot of maid agencies like getting maids from this source...

    Ma22, I have a also similar maid before like yr current one. Her name is Triatun and we think she is really "Atun" enough (goondu)...Brainless until i dont have words to describe her...Before I could change her off, she becomes smart enough to run away..So, not that stupid afterall.

    the agent is correct. I think she is applying the new maid as a 2nd maid for you and therefore need yr income statements. So there will be a period u r paying levy for 2 maids. Until such time the runaway maid has been transferred out - erh, having said that, you cancelled her WP# already...

    Celtricia - who is the someone? The agent? Well, you have kids and yr mom is the sole caregiver, so the maid is allowed to go to her plc. but having said that, i know something. Stat** said to me before that as long as the maid washed the toilet / clean the house in yr mom's or inlaws house...

    Having said all these, Babycutie, at the end of the day are you comfortable with her request on hp, and the part where you are not sure if she has kids or not? I think the hp will be more on sms purposes..If you accept her, hopefully she has the judgement when to use her hp.

    Hello Celtricia - oh no...do you still have outstanding loan? I was told not to call Embassy or Police if you have an outstanding loan, cos the investigations can be v troublesome and v likely you wont get back yr loan. I have 2 runaway maids before...and all got outstanding loans and therefore...

    Hey i read this comments online from the ST forum - sounds v true. *********************** at the moment, you "employ a maid at your own risk". that is the way it is for now in s'pore. so if u don't like the rules, don't employ one. but i understand in s'pore, parents often need a maid...

    babycutie - i am sure there are working styles differences..Just like if you cant work well with an Indian boss say as an example, maybe you also want to change employment? The ways of dealing household work may be different and she is not used to it? You probably can dig into more information...

    I used to agree totally not on giving maids off day...but as I experienced more and more difficulties on finding a suitable maid, I admit I gave in...Now I look at this aspect in a different manner...The intial 6 mths of probation is a good gauge for me to have an impression if she does a fairly...
