December 9, 2007Maids
You know maids are paid quite pathetic amount of money in Singapore. Roughly SGD$300 a month. The employer have to pay taxes to the government, which is another SG$300 a month!
I think it’s quite sad that you have to work overseas, not see your family, work 24/7 looking after kids, cooking, laundry and all kind of weird chores and all for only SG$300 a month! Even if you work as a waitor/waitress in Singapore you can easily get $1200 a month. I guess we should all feel lucky that we were born in better place.
People like to complain about the government a lot, but look at how far we have come! I can’t imagine living with only SG$300 a month….
