Archive for July, 2009

Agency raided recently but not previous because of different party.

Publicly, making it look like the current party looks suspiciously dirty.

Looks like objective achieved.

Turn of event. Someone screwed up.

Death of a person at agency premises. Suicide? Not likely. That person is to get married soon. Psychologically speaking, suicide not possible.

Scene now. All hell breaks loose. Finger pointing starts.

Someone should be held responsible. Screams of justice from all quarters.

Promises of open investigation. Promises of transparency. Promises, promises, promises. Where have we heard it before?

Then agency denies accountability. Someone personally will lead the investigation. Opportunity to twist the story.

Later, we’ll see diversion of attention. Swept under the carpet and collect dust. As with other unsolved cases. Same old story.

Now think. Shouldn’t we change the whole scene with new people in next election?

The above is the title of an article found in The Sun (2 July 2009) except the ‘WTF?’ part.

It says this particular women’s section of an association is against bringing in domestic helpers from China. Have they considered the following before they decided it?

1. Language barrier with other maids –  this applies to Chinese community only
2. Recent ban from Indonesia? Who else can you turn to with less trouble like intelligent, diligent, etc?
3. Generally men don’t fuck their own maid as their motto is “Don’t eat and shit at same place”. Only imbeciles would do so (which reminds me of a person I know who is a MD of an IT company alleged to rape his maid)
4. Cost effectiveness – cheap labor?
5. China maid less likely to run away?
6. Hire China maid above 35 years old? (suggested by my wife)

If common culture, language, religion and culinary habits will make it easier for Chinese maids to get close to their male Chinese employers thus posing a threat to family relationships, then doesn’t it mean that the wife is not doing her “duties” effectively?

Take away the Chinese maid and replace with any other girls and you’ll still get threaten to wreak havoc to family relationships. So why the need to target Chinese maid specifically? Sigh, it’s the same scene with Malays with Indonesian maids and yet unfounded claims. Lives still goes on.

What I hate most is the general statement “a marriage counsellor has handled many cases of marital woes stamped from Chinese women”. My question is :

1. How many cases a month?
2. Compared to other causes of marital woes (in terms of statistic)?
3. Compared to other race of women?
4. Compared to other country women?
5. Age group?
6. Location – rural or urban which has higher rate? By state?

If the above info was given and support their claim, then I might change my mind. For now, I’ll say “WTF?!?”
