"I want a part time maid for 2 hours will pay 10 $ in sophia hills for 4 days in a week so please let me know," the woman wrote

The woman posted in the ‘Indians in Singapore’ Facebook group, saying: “I want a part time maid for 2 hours will pay 10 $ in sophia hills for 4 days in a week so please let me know.” Facebook user Pia Heikkila questioned the ethics of such an offer as she asked: “Would you work for that kind of money in Singapore…? It’s slave labour and lucky it’s illegal here.”

Some online users expressed even stronger disapproval, asking the woman to treat domestic helpers with dignity and fairness. Facebook user Kalai Kariyah firmly asserted, “Please don’t treat domestic helpers as cheap slaves. Treat with respect for their labor and give them the market rate salary.”
