I think you need to check accuracy of your video. the pic in 2:03 is not a maid who works in singapore. I am indonesian, she is indonesian. when i was in indonesia, she appeared on tv news so many times. she worked in arab. the abuse in arab is much worse. usually in indonesian news, the abuse that is reported in tv news is that done by the arabs.

We all know how Chinese represented in the World Community,,, It is a common problem within their Culture,,, And no wonder why our parents refusing a Chinese person...

BAN these maids from coming to singapore, inviting them here is like inviting a bunch of terrorist into your homes. If they think singaporeans abuse them, please GO HOME and dont come here, you are not welcome.

@jerseyjewls00 wow saturday AND sunday off for her wedding? you are too kind.. JK.

why do people 'needs' maids in Singapore anyway?? don't be so fucking lazy, do your own housework, make your own food, do your own shopping...its what normal people do everywhere else! It seems that having a maid is little more than a status symbol, owning a human being, paying her peanuts for damn hard work, 7 days a week. You might be one of the decent employers, but still, no one truly 'needs' a maid (slave)
