Poor maid

This entry is very boring...can don't read if you want...

Went to work in the afternoon. Actually I drag myself there cos I don't wish to go to work in the first place. After counting, I then went out to serve the customers. Around late afternoon, there's one lady who bought a lot of items. I then purposely scan the items slowly. She then scolded her maid in front of a lot of other customers. The maid just kept quiet throughout except she says occasional,"Sorry Mum(Madam)", "No Mum(Madam)". I was very angry with the employer and half of me wish to speak up for the poor maid. But I was working so I cannot say anything but to watch the poor maid helplessly. When the maid tried to carry the whole lot of groceries later on, the employer push her maid on the back very hard and said,"Go lah! Take all these to the car first! Cannot understand instructions is it!? Stupid girl!"by this time, I wish that I could give the employer one punch on her stupid face!!! But I cannot do that lah. If I'm in my civilian clothes and I am not working, I may do that! I will even stand up for the maid! Cos if I stood up for the maid now, the employer can complain to my Managers of being rude and maybe plus being nosy. I pity the maid. She came all the way from her country to work in Singapore and yet being treated like a slave(or maybe worst than a slave)! TO ALL EMPLOYERS IN SINGAPORE(Especially those who hire domestic workers/maids): Please don't ill-treat your maids! They are pity enough to leave their hometown just to come here to serve you and your household members! Please treat them with dignity! They are humans too and have feelings too!!! Not your dog/slave!!!

I really hate people like that! I was thinking,"What if the maid was first time here in Singapore and she don't understand a lot of things? Can't the employer teach/guide her nicely?!" From the way she speaks and from the money she spends(she spend a total of $170+++ just for groceries alone), I can easily tell that the employer is from the upper class rich tai-tai. So what if she is rich?! It doesn't mean she can bully the maid like that!!! I hate people who uses money to push people around! They think that their money is made of gold!!! In my eyes, no matter how rich you are, if you treat a maid or those less well-off than yourself like shit, you are NOTHING in my eyes! Just a low-class idiot!!!

After the maid and her stupid employer left, I curse the employer deep within my heart. I pray silently that one day the employer will reduce her status to a pathetic poor lady one day and hopefully one day she will be in her maid's shoes!!! Then she will know the taste of being treated like a slave!!!

But of course I don't mean all the employers in Singapore are like that. I have also seen some(but very rare cases) whereby the employers treat their maid very well and even treat them like one of their friends/family members. But like I said, these are very few and rare cases. I have even seen an employer pull her maid's hair in public before and slap her maid. I do not know what has the maid done wrong to deserve such a treatment?

Sorry for the boring entry again. Will blog again soon.
