Don't let her have a chance to tell story.my two weeks maid seeking to go home cz her grandma is critically ill!! n shes seeking for two weeks home leave!!!! agree to go home on her own expense! wth!!

How much is the charges for KTKLN card?Info for Indo maids:
1. They must have valid passport, then can get work permit (WP) for 2 years or up to 1 month before their passport expires.
2. After you get the WP, you are advised to take them to the embassy in SG(opens 9-12pm; and 3-5pm) to sign the contract.
3. Minimum wage is $400. Does not say off-day is compulsory.
4. If they go back to Indo for holiday, they need to make the KTKLN card - and this can only be done in Indo. Docs required incl the agreement with their Indo Embassy stamp! They need to show this KTKLN card before they can pass their immigrations - so, no KTKLN = no come back to Singapore!
This is their government's way to track and protect the FDW. So, for example, if your maid's passport is still valid, and not going for home leave, looks like no need to go, right? So far, there is no mandate. But if the FDW renews the passport, part of the requirement is also to sign the contract.
Note: Info accurate at time of posting.

Hi all
Currently i have a Phil maid with me for 1yr 8mths and for being keeping her so long is becos my daughter has get very close to her and she could manage and handle my DD well since she 8months old. Of cos there were many many things I can’t stand her but have to close 1 eye…from putting nail varnish, wearing makeup and accessories when we go out basically the only word can console me from scolding her is becos she is still young only 26 n young girls like to doll up, right? Whenever each time we go over to my friend house for dinner, My friend always commented that your maid is like a princess no need to do anything just sit down there and watch movie and cross her leg. The main problem is I can’t leave my son with her solely under her care. There was couple of times my son complained to me my maid bully him by hitting his head and no doubts must be my son being naughty when i not around but afterall my maid have no right to hit our children. The "Angriest" part is why she beat the child when we are not around, she is so scary n fake! There also couple of time I saw my son playing alone in our room when I leave him with our maid half a day for facial or marketing n I saw the smart alec maid was taking her nap at my dd’s room while dd having her baby nap, how could she just leave my son alone like that, she shld accompany him till i m back home. Have shared this with my hubby n he was very mad with our maid cos we have been tolerating all this.
Hubby decision is to look for a new maid this weekend and send the maid to her origin agency when the new maid arrived. But at the other hand she has 4 months more to complete her contract with us n she is looking forward to visit her daughter so I am in dilema.
- should i give her 1 month time to look for new employer and after that send her back to phil for fulfilling her contract with us? (
-if sending her back to agency mean she will have to work here for another 2 years if the agent find a new employer for her so is it mean she have to wait another 2 years to see her daughter? -
Jongsn:
If you are willing to pay for her to go back home there is the option for her to look for a new employer before she goes back on the understanding that she will be going back home first. Some maids do this and it does work for some employers who don't need a maid immediately or are maybe like you and looking to replace their existing maid whose contract has not yet expired.Hi all

You should install cctv camera -

For the above reason alone, I will not tolerate this maid. I will send her back. (either to agent or origin country) Child abuse? God knows what she will do to ur son behind ur back? U have to consider will she hit ur child more if u give 1 month termination notice? Finding a replacement maid is not a fast process if u want fresh maid. (transfer of cos faster) Took me almost 2 months before my new maid came. By then ur current maid would have serve another 2 months and mayb u can send her back? Meanwhile, install camera is good option to safeguard ur family. Fr now till new maid, try not let her alone w ur son.The main problem is I can't leave my son with her solely under her care.

Hi all,
Just to share my story.....
My maid went home(Indonesia) to celebrate her Hari Raya Puasa on 12th August and back 25th August 2012.
On the morning when we wanted to bring her to airport and we found S$1k missing. So, we asked her did she take the money, her answer is no. Without any evidence we still drove her to airport. After she left Singapore, we are not very sure that she take the money. So, we cross our fingers and wait for her to come back.
Before the return day, she phoned and remind us to pick her up at the airport next afternoon. She was back to Singapore after her home leave.
Till today, we still can't figure out where is the money........ :scratchhead:
