A domestic helper set to work in a landed property asked other helpers for advice on what it would be like there.

In an anonymous post to Facebook group FDW in Singapore (working conditions forum), the helper asked other domestic helpers what it would be like to work for a family that lived in a 2-storey landed property. She added that she would have to work for five adults and one dog.

Last month, another foreign domestic helper asked other helpers and employers for their advice on what to do when she had already returned home, but her work permit had not been cancelled.

In an anonymous post to Facebook group FDW in Singapore (working conditions forum), the helper wrote on Friday (Jul 22) that she had already returned to her hometown two weeks ago and was trying to find a new employer with another agency. She explained that she was not comfortable with her current employer and agency.

Maid went back hometown cos she can’t stand her employer, but her work permit was not cancelled, so she’s unable to work for another employer, agency doesn’t care
