The maid was not happy to stay with her female employer as she would not get proper meals, but she was told it was illegal to stay with a bachelor

SINGAPORE: A foreign domestic helper took to social media asking which house she should register her address as now that her employers had separated. The maid seemed unhappy that she had to live with the woman as she claimed the latter did not feed her properly.

“her answer is its illegal here in singapore if your going to stay in a single man house”, the woman told the maid. The woman explained that she and her husband were still legally married, just separated but said that she was worried the maid would be fined by the Manpower Ministry if this situation came to light.

Earlier this year, another foreign domestic worker took to social media asking if it was legal for her employers to make her sign an agreement handing over her passport and work permit to them.
