I am dismayed.
The future is bleak.
When I graduate, if I’m lucky enough I’ll get a freshman’s salary of about 2k+. I have to pay for food, lodgings, petrol and all other amenities myself. So my clean pay might not even come up to much. But it’s alright, I’m still considered a professional and can dress in power suits to go to work.
But this! This!!! … is travesty!!!
RM 1.4K per month with handphone!!!
bank guarantee of about RM9,000!!
Flight costs and other miscellaneous expenses are also to be borne by the employer!!
Insured for a minimum of RM20,000 (at a premium of RM300) against sudden death during the course of her duties as a maid!!!
All these because,
“because the maid will have to leave behind her family and go to serve in another country”
My God, they’re not even trained.
At this price, you would expect everything to be immaculate down to her faux British accent.
Pfft! Untrained… have to leave country konon.
You tell me which Indon maid didn’t leave her own country wan?
And those dumb tai-tais were against bringing in Chinese maids… see!! now the market price go up already… the Indian High Commission is very quick to catch wind of this…
Well ok. Very smart, very smart. I give them credit for that.
Sheesh…
Oh, and if you’re absolutely bored, got to this parody site of postsecret’s. Very funny sometimes.
lol, actually maids are train.
they are train to clean up ppl’s house and they have to do lots of work. example my maid at home, she has to clean the house, cook food, do, gardening and even take care of my doggies and kitties.
but true in some ways the price of ‘extra help’ are kinda expensieve. only conclusion is get a rich dude =p. (k i know i’m like super shallow when said that).
take care babe. miss you.

When I say trained, I mean professionally trained. As in they know what to do and do it right even without you telling them what to do. I believe Indon maids still need to be told what to do, from what I’ve seen.
