  • Why Your Helper Should NOT Be Part of the Family

    Why Your Helper Should NOT Be Part of the Family

    Today, why treating your helper as part of the family may not be as good an idea as it sounds.

    Many employers like to say, ‘we are good to our helper, we treat her like part of the family.’ Sounds nice, doesn’t it? So what is wrong with this statement? The problem is, people treat their family in all sort of ways. Good, or like garbage, there are no hard and fast rules. If you shout at your family, take advantage of their kindness, or wake them up in the middle of the night, they will still love you. They know you’d do the same for them.

    Between domestic workers and employers, things are different. The relationship between a domestic worker and her employer is not equal: one person has power over the other, which makes the latter dependent and vulnerable. This is similar to a relationship between parent and child, but you have to keep one thing in mind here: a domestic worker is an adult. She does a paid job for you, and unlike family members, she might at some point wish to leave you; changing employers is a natural part of any career, and something you would accept in a formal employer-employee relationship without taking it personally.

    ☝🏻Helper’s Rights

    Helpers need, is to be treated as formal workers, with the protection of the law that comes with that. Unfortunately, in Singapore, domestic workers are not covered under the Employment Act. The state says that since domestic workers work and reside inside the house of their employer, it is difficult to regulate what happens there.

    ✍🏼 Expectations

    It means domestic workers have no regulated working hours, many have days as long as 14-16 hours with limited breaks, and no paid overtime. They have no right to be paid annual leave, no sick leave, no guaranteed weekly day off nor a minimum salary. By law they are required to live in with their employers, which puts them on call 24/7. All of this leaves domestic workers vulnerable to exploitation.

    📌 Exploitation

    Overwork is one of the complaints domestic workers most often have when they approach HOME, and with them being excluded from the Employment Act, there are no legal implications for an employer imposing excessive working hours on a domestic worker. Neither do domestic workers have access to Labour Court or the Employment Claims Tribunal when their employer does not pay their salary.

    Set out clear expectations of workload and scope of work, define what areas a helper will be responsible for and prioritise those instead of expecting every single job to be covered. Is looking after multiple kids the focus, or looking after an elderly relative as well as doing light housework, or is she mainly responsible for all the housework and cooking.

    Allow for proper training in areas where you have high expectations, especially if hiring “directly” from abroad versus a transfer helper who may have been previously trained and have more experience.

    Allow your domestic worker her privacy and freedom outside of working hours. Even though her hours can’t always be clearly defined, it is good to go through your requirements on a weekly basis: which nights do you require her for babysitting, or a dinner party, and which can she spend at her leisure?

    If she is not the right fit for you, that does not mean she won’t do well in a family with a different setup. Allow her to transfer and change employers if she wishes – with reasonable notice.

  • Commentary: Leaders Are No Longer Chosen On The Basis Of Merit

    Commentary: Leaders Are No Longer Chosen On The Basis Of Merit

    The image of a ponding MRT on its submerged track is iconic and deep with prophetic tell-tale signs of the state we are in as a Nation.

    The admission of a culture of complacency in SMRT by its very CEO has served to expose the parasitic cancer eroding all that we have build as a Nation, when we abandoned what we used to champion, i.e., meritocracy.

    Leaders are no longer chosen on the basis of merit, required expertise and capabilities for the core functions demanded. Political interests to maintain control and power dictates who gets any top jobs. The best gets sidelined for not being correctly aligned politically. The mantra of the best man for the job no longer applies.

    A pervasive culture of silence exist deterring anyone to speak up for the truth which in today’s high salaried pseudo corporate top jobs potentially means foregoing that politically laced iron rice bowl. We are doing everything that the best management gurus warned against. Never to compromise separation of powers to ensure adequate checks and balances as well as non tolerance to conflict of interest situations.

    Now instead, an elitist tight clique safeguards their own vested interest as they run the faltering Singapore Inc. The reminder and caution of pitfalls when government do business is simply ignored. Lessons strangely don’t apply of gross abuse that always happen when the sacred lines on separation of powers that must never be crossed disappears.

    Emblematic of this chronic malaise is the blurring between who is checking who. We are shockingly reminded again of this sickness with the reply Minister Khaw gave to Low’s question in parliament. The information of how checks and balances are ensured between Ministry, Stat boards and Operators are vital and valid and must be clearly answered. Simply brushing aside such queries in parliament with pathetic line of we know what we are doing and can be trusted will not do anymore.

    Singaporeans must remember all these moments and there are surely plenty now to list. Government must never be allowed to get away with excuses instead of explaining why things fail and must take responsibility for their failures which clearly is the case with poor judgement on top executive choices. Poor decisions and bad judgments must have consequences.

    Ultimately, the root of the problem begins in government. This government has abandoned all the lofty ideals of governance that our founding fathers stood for and defended. The government has no checks and in truth we the People made it so. With no real accountability by the government to the people, the inevitable will happen. Remember this image when we next go to the polls and vote wisely.

    Amalan Suami Isteri

    Jika anda berada di sebelah suami yang sedang memandu, bacakanlah wirid dan doa harian ini. Biar suami di sebelah mendengar bacaan anda. Ikut tertibnya, jika perlu membaca tiga kali sehingga habis sebagaimana yang terkandung dalam buku Al Mathurat.

    Ada bahagian wirid dan doa yang perlu diperhatikan dengan teliti terutamanya ketika membaca sebelah pagi atau petang. Ada beberapa bahagian ayat perlu diubah mengikut masa membacanya. (boleh rujuk buku Al Mathurat)

    Sebaiknya, bacalah sampai doa terakhir dalam Al Mathurat. Kadangkala kerana ingin cepat, kita mengelak daripada membaca wirid dan doa ini sampai habis. Terjemahan doa ini sahaja membaca makna yang cukup besar dalam menyatukan hati-hati insan yang dekat dengan pengamalnya.

    Andai anda sedang berselisih dengan suami atau isteri, bacalah doa akhir ini kerana ia mampu menyatukan hati, selain mengeratkan lagi hubungan kasih sayang antara pasangan malah anak-anak.

    Agar hidup yang baharu dibina diberkati dan dilindungi, cuba ikhtiar dengan pendekatan Islam. Nescaya kehidupan sebagai suami dan isteri akan mendapat rahmat juga keberkatan daripada Allah SWT.

    Doa Akhir

    “Ya Allah, menjelanglah kini malam (ciptaan)-Mu, beredarlah sudah siang-Mu, inilah keluhan suara dan pinta para du‘at-Mu. Maka oleh itu ampunkanlah dosaku. Ya Allah, engkau mengetahui bahawa hati-hati ini… (bayangkan wajah rakan seperjuangan) telah berkumpul kerana mengasihi-Mu, bertemu untuk mematuhi (perintah-Mu), bersatu memikul beban dakwah-Mu. Hati-hati ini telah mengikat janji setia mendaulat dan menyokong syariat-Mu. Maka eratkanlah Ya Allah ikatannya.

    Kekalkan kemesraan antara hati-hati ini. Tunjukkanlah kepada hati-hati ini dengan pengetahuan sebenar tentang-Mu.

    Jika engkau mentakdirkan mati maka matikanlah pemilik hati-hati ini sebagai para syuhada dalam perjuangan agama-Mu. Engkaulah sebaik-baik sandaran dan sebaik-baik penolong.

    Ya Allah, perkenankanlah permintaan ini. Ya Allah restuilah dan sejahterakanlah junjungan kami (Nabi) Muhammad SAW, keluarga dan para sahabat baginda semuanya.”

    * Ketika membaca doa ini, niatkanlah untuk suami/isteri dan jangan lupa menyebut namanya.

    Pengertian Al-Mathurat

    1. Al-Mathurat merupakan wirid dan doa harian yang diamalkan oleh Rasulullah SAW. Ia disusun dan dihimpunkan oleh al-Imam As-Syahid Hasan Al-Banna berdasar dalil-dalil sahih. Rasulullah SAW adalah orang yang paling mengetahui betapa besarnya ganjaran yang diperoleh daripada amalan doa dan wirid ini.

    2. Terdapat dua jenis yang boleh dibaca iaitu Sughra dan Kubra. Andainya anda diburu waktu, sudah memadai membaca jenis Sughra kerana surah pilihan dan doanya lebih ringkas.

    3. Wirid, doa, zikir dan istighfar dalam Al-Mathurat ini akan memantapkan jiwa di samping memiliki keutamaan dalam segala aspek kehidupan. Mendidik hati agar sentiasa merindui Ilahi, memberi kelapangan hidup dan kesihatan jasmani.

    4. Bagi seorang Muslim masanya tidak berlalu begitu saja. Di kala pagi dan petang, dia sentiasa bertasbih, istighfar, tahmid dan berdoa kepada Allah SWT dengan zikir yang ma’thur (yang berasal daripada Nabi SAW).

    5. Jika sesiapa mengamalkan zikir Al-Mathurat, anda akan merasakan perbezaannya dengan hari-hari yang tidak dimulakan dengan zikir Al-Mathurat. Begitulah kekuatan doa dan wirid dalam Al-Mathurat yang dianggap senjata orang mukmin.

  • Bad Experience With MKM Car Leasing

    Bad Experience With MKM Car Leasing

    Kindly avoid renting cars from MKM Car Rentals. Luckily, I was stuck with them for only 2 months. Here’s how my experience went and why you wouldn’t rent from them.

    First, I met this Danial, marketing himself as DA Car Rentals but under UberGrab Mentor Group (UGM). Tried to hard sell the stream at $490 with MKM as there’ll be a $150 rebate which will bring down the price to $340. I was too lazy to scout for others as most Streams are priced at $450 and none (the ones that I came across) were GrabRental partners. So I decided to settle with him which I regretted later on.

    Please blacklist.
    https://carousell.com/dacar_rental/

    and MKM Car Rentals

    Honestly, their excess would have scared most drivers but I used to rent from LCR, so I’m used to having a high excess. Btw, MKM’s Excess is $5000. Deposit was $500. Remember, their rental was $490** per week. (Way above market rate)

    During collection, I remember telling the bugger, I don’t want a fucked up Stream with mounting or gear problems. But no.

    Problems with the stream

    1. Excuse given – Mechanical problem. NNB, your mechanic don’t know how to check and repair before giving car ah?!

    2. EMPTY tank.

    3. Aircon problem. I only found out on my 2nd day of driving as the account was activated on the 2nd day.

    4. Car will have a big jerk when changing gears from drive to reverse, vice versa, UNLESS car comes to a COMPLETE STOP.

    5. Whole car will vibrate at traffic lights and damn sensitive on rough roads.

    6. Leak on co-driver seat. If it’s raining or when i wash the car, water will leak in.

    Best part is they only fix the aircon. The rest, forget it.
    Servicing also can take up to 3 hours. Have a small pool of staff, but even my deposit cock up, took at least 3 weeks till I finally got it back. If you are unhappy with your car, you can change, but, you think their other cars got no problem? When I usually go there, there’s always another driver screaming at them because of their poor and unsatisfactory service. So, please avoid renting from MKM Car Rentals and be careful when engaging with UGM. And make sure do a background check before you rent with a car rental company.
