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?!?”
