House maids might exist here in Singapore

Living in Singapore is awesome, this is what we say when people ask about Singapore. We like living here, it’s great. But it does have some flaws like other country. House maids might exist here in Singapore, But the majority of the Singaporean population don’t live in rich man’s world. If you are coming to live here in Singapore, you would have a house maid. A house maid would be somebody to help you with your day to day running of the house. They will do the cooking cleaning and whatever task you give them. And they will live with you and offer their services to you 24 hours.

Well the bad news is, If you are used to that lifestyle, and expect something similar when you do come to Singapore, you’ll be in for a bit of a change and perhaps a bit of a surprise as well. And if you want that kind of lifestyle, better stay in your country because, unless you are really rich, you won’t be able to do that here. You need to be able to do things by yourself. In Singapore we have industrial relations laws and minimum wage guidelines for maids. Thinking of running your house with a house maid just like other countries won’t work here, unless you are rich and can afford it.

You must pay your maid, the minimum wage. It would be around $500 or something. Now you would most likely be working yourself for somebody and you would most likely be getting the minimum wage. For an example the housemaids in Philippines typically are being paid at about $50 per month. While you earn about $200-$300 per month. You can’t do that here in Singapore, we have a minimum wage guideline that defined by the Ministry of Manpower. There are other laws that comes in effect too, because effectively if you hire somebody, you will become an employer and that’s a whole different ball game all together. There are more requirements that you need to full-fill.

We don’t live like kings and queens here in Singapore. We have to work hard and long hours just to make ends meet. Many of us have to take double jobs or more to make ends meet. If you have qualifications though, then your standard of living might be easier but you still have to work hard.
When planning a function, normally we would have helpers all around to help us, but because of our tight schedules, we had to outsource it and that worked almost well. If not we would have been up for early morning wake up, cooking, organizing the event all by our self. Then after that spending all those hours cleaning up the mess. Better, you can find a person who will do these all jobs perfect, so you can concentrate on your works.
