Recently, Singapore influencer Jessie Loh (Shiberty) has shared her experience with her maid on Instagram on the 13 Jun 2020. In her post, she talked about the work antics of her maid.
According to Loh, her maid had taken some food for herself that was meant to be for a birthday event without asking for permission. It is not the first time her maid has overstepped boundaries in the house.
After sharing her story on Instagram, a non-profit organisation/ advocacy group addressed Loh in an “open letter” which sparked a discussion on social media.
You say I am the maid right? So you have to know your place as a boss
After the incident, Loh’s maid sent her a message telling her that she has gone too far.
Loh’s then shared the story on Instagram, stating that she was annoyed by the incident at first but she was ready to let it go. She alleged that the helper had lied about having no dinner until 9 pm when she could easily have fried rice at 7 pm after cooking for her nephew.
Loh states that she would have offered her maid the food if she asked nicely.
Maid threatened to leave
The maid has even threatened to leave the house and complained about Loh checking on her belongings. In her defends, Loh states that she is just making sure that the maid did not take anything that does not belong to her, as she has a history for such action.
