Do be careful if you are considering to get a helper from them.
It’s a totally absurd service we received! Unreasonable, lousiest maid agency we ever met.
Stay away from them, don’t throw your money into the drain and when things happened, no apologies given.
All we need is a replacement maid, all they did was dragging time again and again. When asked for refund, all we got back is being yelled at over the phone!
Help share around to create awareness.
Since 14th Aug 21, we have been complaining to the agent umpteen times about how the helper is actually using her phone the WHOLE DAMN DAY. Even can go on Facebook live with our kids in her Facebook video WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION. 14th Aug 21 she apologised, and 18th September 21, same thing happened again on her Facebook live (view attached screenshot)!
She is behaving like the boss of the house (look at screenshot photos). But we just kept quiet and tolerating all the nonsense.
The agent and the boss came down to our place once to had a talk, we gave her one more chance. End up, we really cannot take it anymore. She cooked for our kids white rice + luncheon meat, white rice + chicken without soup and also, porridge + ikan bilis. Such a lazy helper… We got no choice but to keep pushing the agent that we need a replacement. As she first came to us end of July.
The replacement of maid just kept dragging and dragging until last night… My helper said she do not want our youngest daughter to sleep with her. Like a queen again… So I had no choice, but to messaged the agent for a full refund. We will look for another agent.
Today the agent’s boss called, and he said “$500 take and go, maid return us” (when we paid for 2.6k+ for this helper), AND EVEN ADD A WORD “WHEN WE ASK YOU TO GIVE HER A CHANCE YOU CAN DONT GIVE”, is this the way you talk to your client, honestly? I mean, you could have just apologise, and we will also be more than willing to accept, as we have waited so long for a replacement maid. We have been very lenient and patience towards this whole scenario.
So….what we got back in the end was the boss shouting over the phone like they have got no wrong & its all our fault!
Is this how you trained your helpers which is why this helper only know how to talk back rudely and argue when at fault? Cook such food for our kids? Even buying outside have more nutrients than what the helper cooked! Your helper can cook good food for herself but cannot cook for our kids?
Anyway, attached all message conversations below. Please enlighten me what should I do in this situation!

Local influencer and NOC artiste Rao Zijie posted a cryptic post on his Instagram profile, revealing that he has left Night Owl Cinematics after 5 years with the company.
He didn’t reveal the reasons for his departure.
A quick scan through the NOC artistes IG profiles showed that a host of them have since removed NOC from their IG bios.
According to @sgcickenrice, recordings and messages purportedly from NOC’s group chats were later leaked by an undisclosed member, showing the alleged working conditions that the staff were under.
In a series of messages allegedly sent by Sylvia Chan, the co-founder of the company, she allegedly called influencers “stupid”:
“I can’t talk to influencers, they are stupid.”
She then allegedly used a slur to insult her staff, calling the staff “f**king ret@rded”.
She was also allegedly using very strong words towards a female employee following a mistake by Aiken Chia (another NOC artiste), who kept mum as Sylvia unloaded on her.
The girl was purportedly crying in the office. (See video at the end of the post)
In yet another leaked group chat message, Sylvia allegedly called one of her artistes Samantha “f**king annoying”, and called her a “f**k face”.
She also allegedly said that she “f**king hate her”.
In a voice recording, she was heard insulting Samantha by saying “that b*tch is f**king dumb”.
A number of artistes from NOC then stood up for Samantha and posted the following captions on their IG stories:
A mass resignation of the talent roster then ensued, with many of the artistes tendering their resignations.
However, they were then added into a group chat with the company’s lawyers.
Disclaimer: At the time of writing, these are mere allegations and Sylvia has yet to come out and address the situation.

A netizen posted on Facebook that her neighbour has been using the corridor as their personal storage space and it can be very dangerous in an event of a fire.
Here is what the netizen said:
Where should I go to complain about the crowding of the corridor by my neighbour? Huge boxes of masks are placed along the lift lobby and corridor. It is seriously disrupting the passageway and in the event of a fire, will be so dangerous.
Town Council and HDB have been informed but the situation has become worse.
36 F&B Outlets were ordered to close for breaching Covid-19 safe management measures since mid-September 2021.
This included notable names like Kopitiam at Tampines Mall, Toast Box at City Square Mall and Malaysia Boleh at AMK Hub.
Breaches included allowing customers to play card games in the premises, failing to ensure groups are in their permissible size and failing to ensure customers keep 1m from each other.
21 other F&B outlets were also given fines for breaching measures.
Three nightlife establishments also had their food licenses revoked permanently as they were found with dine-in patrons even though they were not allowed to re-open.
