Goto tuas side and see at the street side workshops or fabrication areas and you can see this happening daily. You can get firsthand experience just from seeing the employee and employer have a conversation in public.

Like in las vegas, whatever happens in tuas, stays in tuas.

Maids also suffer the same fate. Working for little pay with a typical singaporean. They want value or in order words to stretch their dollar, they want 2 pay 1 dollar but get 2 dollars worth in return.

Thats why u see maids only get 1 day off in a month and wash their owners car everyday from 7am.

The maid in malaysia has a valid reason to work whole day since the are she need to clean is bigger.

How long does it take to clean a typical hdb or condo flat anyway? and does it warrant the maid to work in 1000++ square feet area from 6am to 11pm?

Best of all some people actually share a maid, 2 households in the same condo share one maid to clean both of the condo apartments since the 2 families are related. And they are damn proud that they found ways to be both efficient and cut cost down.

Lol.
Maid sharing between household. Is it allowed? Can save a lot! 1 family save a maid's room and probably can be rented out at $400 - 500 to cover the monthly cost of maid!


Side note, very pek cek I always never get to eat the refreshment after most of the AGM cause it will be all wallop by uncles and aunties whose daily job is to attend shareholders meetings with minimal shareholdings for the food.

No, your not allowed to "share" maids. Since its supposed to be 1 maid per household. But a few families flout the rules since their proud to be "kaisu".

Btw, this doesnt just apply to singaporeans, malaysian PR's do this as well since they have to keep up with their southern neighbors. Like they say monkey see, monkey do.

Hi all, I got an email from a company in SG via Monster and they asked to provide following details should I interested with their opening.
May I ask if its okay for us to provide Passport#? And for permanent address, will it be fine if I put my Malaysia home address, or it is better to state a SG address if I want to get a chance for interview?
Thanks in advance.

On the passport matter, I saw some forumer was saying some company they interview straight away applied Ep for them altho the candidate havent agreed to join. So there's a risk to this. If u decided not to join, but b4 u've replied to them, they immediate assume u wanted (mayb somehow u indicated ur interested)and applied EP for u.

This will giv u lots of prob, when the next job u really wanted apply Ep for u. More on administrative prob, but still prob, depending on how helpful is the first company.
