Yes, there are among us that are animals when it comes to the treatment of foreign maids.The dailies from time to time has highlighted many cases of such atrocities and maids have suffered painfully and silently under the heavy hands of unscrupulous employers.
There are some who has been convicted of such crimes and are serving their sentences in jail. Others are shamed and fined.
The flip side of the coin.
Maids that abuse kids under their care especially babies. They threw babies on the sofa just to hear them scream in fear and in pain. Some of them make the babies to suck their toes. Then there are those who used the house for drugs and lovers trysts when the employers are away.
Workers who steal from the employers, who do not conform to safety standards when working in civil work projects, who rapes and kill and there are those who run away with your babies and abandoning them. Closed circuit TVs have shown some of these wrongdoings by maids who just have no aptitude to do the work at hand.
We know all too well. The sympathies of the public will always be with the underdogs-the maids and the foreign workers in general.
As the Bible rightly say-we must protect our foreign workers; we must never exploit them and we must always treat them well as our own neighbours.
Similarly we would want to be treated well in foreign lands, don't we?
So which side are you on, the local employers or the migrant workers?
