Dear Singapore Ministry of Manpower,
We would like to lodge a formal complaint and also take this opportunity to warn other potential agencies and employers. We have collectively decided to send back our helper, aged 24, who is currently residing in Kapten Kesihin, Tulungagung.
As an employer, we have kept our end of the deal by providing her a fully air-conditioned room, bed, dressing table, a wardrobe, unlimited allowance for food, clothings, sanitation, and have also allowed her to communicate with anyone via top-up cards that we buy. She was given free wi-fi, an apple ipad for Youtube and Netflix, during her rest hours (which is not stated, we just gave her the liberty to rest at will). She was also allowed to have a phone to use as long as it doesn’t interfere with daily work. Or so we thought.
We came across her Instagram after several friends and family members raised the red flag. I have attached the screenshots of her activities. Some of the serious offences include:
– Soliciting for sex.
– Drinking beer in my room.
– Taking a photo of my daughter while showering.
– Suspected of sexually grooming my daughter.
– Surfing p*rnography on her phone.
– Disclosing where we live to the public.
– Taught my daughter to open her legs and touch her private parts.
– Repeatedly gave my daughter expired food. We only found out after work when our daughter was vomiting badly.
– Goes out of our house when we are asleep.
– Send my daughter to school an hour early and after the drop off, goes to Clarke Quay and Lucky Plaza to meet her friends which made her late (2 hours) to pick up our daughter.
We have called our agency, and upon the advise of the owner, she have advised us to immediately send her back and write a report to the Ministry of Manpower.
I have asked several employers and the feedback they have given is that, it is still possible for a FDW to return to Singapore on a different passport with a different identity. I’d like to have the assurance that she will be blacklisted from working or even entering the country. I am willing to co-operate with ICA, SPF and other relevant authorities to make sure other employers do not go through the harrowing and traumatic experience that we have went through. We are also currently sending our daughter for psychiatric assessment.
She has been working with us for 1 year, 3 months.
Regards,
Dzar Ismail
