MAID GOES OUT ON A WEEKDAY AT 9 PM, LEAVES HOUSE GATE UNLOCKED AND DOESN’T RETURN TILL AFTER 12.45 AM
SINGAPORE: An employer who felt his helper was being very unreasonable took to social media after discovering she would go out without asking for permission.
In an anonymous post to a Facebook support group for both domestic helpers and employers alike, the employer wrote that he allowed his maid to go out on weekdays after work as long as she sought their permission and came back at a reasonable hour. He said that for Hari Raya, in addition to her usual Sunday off, she was allowed to stay outside overnight. He also said that the maid was paid $900 monthly.

The Leader of the Opposition, Mr Pritam Singh, said last week that we needed more members of parliament (MPs) from the Workers’ Party (WP). He does have a point. At the end of the day, all new policies are debated and voted upon in Parliament, and where voting is concerned, numbers count!
In Singapore, the People’s Action Party (PAP) holds an overwhelming majority and so, when things are put to a vote, the PAP’s position on the matter would reign supreme. It is a numbers game.
MAN ASKS WHAT’S THE POINT OF SEGREGATING HALAL AND NON-HALAL RETURN TRAYS “IF CLEANERS JUST DUMP EVERYTHING INTO 1 TUB AT COLLECTION POINT”
SINGAPORE: A man complained on social media that “something is wrong somewhere” when a tray return system has separate compartments for halal and non-halal trays and cutlery but cleaners dump them in the same container.
“What is the whole point of segregating the return tray if at collection point, the cleaner just dump everything into 1 tub? Also as stated clearly, the return point is for halal but plates returned were mixed. The good old days, cleaning aunties and uncle will push 1 trolley and have 2 tub to segregate,” wrote a Facebook user who goes by the name Ed Hamz on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE page on Sunday (May 21).
