Recently I employed a new Indonesian domestic helper to help out with my hectic housework. I called her to use the fresh fish at home and fry it for dinner tonight.
To my shock when I reached home, I saw my pet Luo Han fish fried and on the dinner plate. I am angry but I cannot blame my domestic helper because maybe my instructions was not clear enough to her.
Should I be upset with myself or my helper? Sigh.

Dear Editor,
The Indonesia maid has been working for me about 6 months. She is very good in acting. Like a normal person just do her job to look after our new born baby girl and housework.
During the weekdays my wife need to sent my 2 years old son to the child care centre and do marketing for the daily need so we leave the maid and the baby at home. We trust her that she will do her job. One Saturday evening we wanted to past her the work permit for her off day the next day but we couldn’t find the work permit and the passport!
When we ask her and she said that her work permit is with her and claim that the passport is with us. After that we decided to search for the passport in our room but we could not find it. The next day the maid go for her off day and we try to search for her passport again but cannot find it than we decide to check our locked drawer to check if our gold and money if is still inside but to our surprise our gold in a bag n cash is missing!!!!
We hope that the maid would come back from off day but she didn’t return to our house by 6 pm that day. That’s when we made a police report. And the police officer did make a check from ICA and say the the maid already left Singapore on that Sunday. This maid is so cunning and deceiving. Beware!

Netizen Faizah Zakaria shared a bad experience she had at the library when a spoiled child treated her as if she was a maid just because of her skin colour. This is not the way for a child to behave towards our Malay Singaporean brothers and sisters.. The parents should educate the child not to treat others like slaves. Let’s share her story and condemn discrimination.
“I was sitting in the children’s section of the library reading a book to my (Chinese-looking) nephew when a little Chinese girl interrupted us. “Excuse me,” she said imperiously. I looked up. “Here,” she said pushing a plastic wrapping into my hands. Then she walked off without another word to join her mother who was texting busily a few steps away.
I was quite stunned to realize that she expected me to throw away her rubbish for her. Okay, maybe she had not meant to be offensive and thought I look like an Indonesian maid or something. Still, when is it ever acceptable to zero in on the only brown-skinned person in the library (excluding the officers) and expect her to take care of the trash? Even if I were a maid, that doesn’t give some random kid a right to do so, especially when the rubbish bin is a only a few steps away. It is not okay to expect strangers to pick up after you whether they are Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Filipino, Indian or Martian.
Have a happy racial harmony day tomorrow, Singapore. We have some way to go.”
