Hey all, im having problem with the Indonesian maid that i took home from the agency last month...when i contacted the agency last week, they told me that in order to change a maid (even within the first 3 month 'trial' period) i have to pay a fee totaling to about RM3k++ inorder to get a change. The agency says that this is the new regulation & the money is used to send the maid home & get another one from there, but they had never told me of such things before this happen.

Was wondering if anybody here know or had experience before matter like this...desperately need help....the maid is driving us all crazy

maid agency all like that

easy money for them.

btw, i recommend you to use a la carte maid

they come to your house for several hours, then go.

payment per hour. severals companies doing that around KL

falcon punch maid oni

juz kick her butt out of ur house..tell her plz mind her manners in order to work here..

Hmm...
if she really that bad but the agency dun care it
U can try to ajar her whenever she make a mistake, if she dun wan to listen get strict to her then
Can she complain and change maid for u?
If can then good la, if cant u have to susah abit lo
Usually maid also need to ajar one, good or naughty one also

where does she from?

its hard to get a good maid... some need to be thought on how to do daily chores... some need a few month to adapt with employer requirements...

please note that some ppl is by nature totally lousy at doing house work... they took the maid job bcoz its the only job they can get...

ok guys/gals..im gonna answer in one shot..here it goes...

our previous maid was good, but had to let her go back earlier when we found out that her mom was not well..but this new maid is horrible, my mom have to endup ironing the cloths even after teaching her 2-3 times or worst re do the ironing after her....i actually endup doing house chores as she is damn slow, i manage to mop 2 whole room & she just finish sweeping 1...its like her mind is not around when she does work. i say this because she is a absent minded person it seems...its like when we teach her to do something, she will tend to do another thing or walk away...feels like banging my head against the wall

we had already tried scolding her, be stern with her, im still talking to her in a nice manner but it seems that she is getting on my nerves & cimbing over my head..i dont know when i will start scolding her, but you can count that its real soon...i took time off from work to help release my mom's pressure with her...dont know what to do, the best part is she dont answer the house phone when it rings, but instead answer mom's cell when it happens to ring..hahahahah (scary), need to check the bills. she does eat the same food twice in a day, as in chicken for lunch, she wont eat chicken again in the night or tend not to eat dinner, middle of the night will sneak out of her room to grab foo..she choosy in food...hahaha, when my mom was cooking some mixed vege, she told my mom 'ini makan boleh mati'...hahahahahha (imagine my mom's face then)

she is from indonesia, she said in order to go home she needs to fly to Bali then take an inbound flight back home ( dont know where is that, but read something like kupang or so)...also, again i spoken to the agent, still the same, 3k++ to change a maid & we have to wait for another to arrive...horrible horrible, i can't wait that long, we need a maid to take care of my parents, the main intention is for her to take care of my parents & house chores, but it seems the other way around, we are taking care of her instead

we have no intention to wack her or using abusive words to her or whatever in that category, as it will be against the law & could be categoried abuse....hahahahahha, dont wanna endup in the nationwide headlines

My maid run away 1 week ago, after working for a month! Yet, I still have to pay her salary (about RM 900 plus) to the maid agency! According to them, they will send the money back to the maid's family...which I doubt so...The maid agency took the maid's passport from me saying that they need it for cancellation of the work permit (another RM250). Anyone has any experience with run away maid? I'm not sure whether I'm being overcharged by the agency!

what if the maid already more than 3 months?

Just found out my maid is stealing money. I will never keep such person in my house. She is going straight home. Money will be lost.

Wonder if I should get Cambodians. Most said they are hardworking.

why u need to pay salary after she run away? sound fishy for me

Well its normal for businesses really. I thank god i have this only maid since i was born. Im big now and spoilt because i have this maid. She's like a second mother to me since she has been serving my family even before i was born.

What i recommend for you is to take maids that are old enough. Not the ones who are only in their teens and are only looking for fun. Get someone more matured. Even better get a maid who has gone through marriages before.
Thats just my 2 cents. Good luck.

This the reason why maids get bashed up. Run away employer must pay. Where is the justice? Some people say got syndicate one.

ya...all the maid agencies are same.. money minded.. the monbey actually is pay to agent only ...not to maid. i had experience b4, i rejected the maid coz steal thing. they ask us to pay salaries n air ticket. but i stay strong dun pay at all. they said wil report to embassy, wait them to cal me. but few days they cal me again ask me to forgive the maid n let her work again. they wil "sell" to another employer and pay me 2k... They earn more money like recycle. When reject we need to pay oso, runaway same la... We all rugi ma...

just go for part timers next time. i have one, very efficient and hardworking. in fact my mother thinks she's so good she actually gave her RM10 tip for her every time she visits. and whenever we have things lying around the house that we do not need, we just let her have it if she wants to.

for your current maid, maybe you can ask her to do mediocre stuff that doesn't include complications like sweeping, mopping, washing dishes etc etc
better treat her properly, otherwise they might either run away, steal your money or food poison you.
