It's very taxing for employer that their salary keep raising but our salary is not raising. Pls don't forget apart from their salary we still need to pay for their food n daily usess which is about 300 sgd extra. They tipically don't have to spend a cents while working for us.

As an employer of FDW, I agree with the rest that we employer do suffer because of bad attitude of these helpers, their incompetency even though they claimed that they are 'experienced working in Singapore' and many other reasons. Please, we employers do need protection too. We're really really helpless now with the one-sided law.

Please be fair to employers. How can their pay increase at such an exponential rate and employers are expected to be responsible. My last maid was a thief and a liar but she was able to successfully get a transfer just because she ran to HOME. Her bio data was fake and agency was out to cheat. It's too much but we employers suffer in silence.

Sg government, please look into this! It is hard to get FDW that is genuinely keen to really perform work here to earn a livelyhood. While you are encouraging Singaporeans to give birth, it is ridiculous that we are encountering maids being choosy with employer family saying they only want to work for family with 1 kid!! Please impose more effective regulation and impose more harsh punishment for those who break the law in Sg. It is too common to hear that a maid after being caught stealing in employer house or abuse the kids failed to be punished by law because of the large amount of money employer have to pay to process the legal proceedings! Maids often get let off and employee still have to pay for their ticket home. the law needs to be tailored to suit the requirement of such needs of FDW employement. MOM could play more active role in banning the maid as long as a police report is made or evident materials are produced to prove the maid wrong doings. This should at least dis-encourages the maid to misbehave.

Play fair! The quality of work produced by the FDW does not warrant the increase of salary. Not forgetting the trouble they created when they goes for their off days!!!

More protection for employers of FDWs also pls..we are always at the losing end, both financially,emotionally, physically and time loss too! There are fdws who get into trouble and its not the fault of us employers. When fdws decides not to complete their contract due to personal reasons (e.g wants to go home becoz family members ill), employers have to bear all the costs..the flt tix, having to pay for a new fdw again, etc.
Bear in mind that some or most household requires an fdw not becoz of a want, or a luxury..its a NEED and a necessity!

I wish MOM looks more into employer's plight as well.
