It is common among the younger generation to have been looked after by domestic helpers. Both my parents worked, for example. To me, a domestic helper is not simply a servant in the household, but an addition to the family.
I am thankful for my domestic helper, Lina. Like many maids here, she ensured the smooth operations of the household.
Hence, I found the alleged imprisonment of a domestic helper, which non-profit organisation Transient Workers Count Too posted an article about, to have been despicable. (http://ift.tt/1Dzd544...)
I hope the relevant authorities do a thorough investigation into this case. It is unacceptable if the worker had been treated so despicably in Singapore, an acclaimed First World nation.
Migrant workers form a significant percentage of the population. It is time for Singaporeans overcome the xenophobia and reach out a hand to those helpers who are helpless.
