PROTECT FOREIGN MAIDS FROM SEXUAL PREDATORS DURING THEIR OFF DAYS
With Singapore economic boom and the influx of thousands of
foreign workers, we are experiencing a culture shock of unSingaporean

market' for thousands of Banglas to gather, stalk, prey and pick
maids for their lust and sexual desires. Toa Payoh park, Botanical
Gardens, Sentosa are full of Banglas and maids.
The open space between Kallang Airport Drive and Kallang Airport
Way is littered with couples, Banglas and maids. Openly displaying
‘intimate and sensuous’ behaviours. Checkout also cheap hotels
for hourly bookings, in Geylang, Balestiar etc, where maids and
Banglas checking rooms for their sexual flings.

Dealing with a new generation of maids
BETTER pay, a day off every week, and even free access to Wi-Fi - the demands of foreign maids today are a far cry from when Singapore first opened its doors to them some three decades ago.
While an impoverished situation in their home country and a strong Singapore dollar remain the main push and pull factors, maids from the Philippines, Indonesia and even Cambodia now also want an enriching time for themselves while working here.

The Lessons Singapore Learned From Flor Contemplacion
We were not ready for the emotions of the Filipinos over the execution,” said Associate Prof. Alan Chong
On March 17, 1995–18 years ago–the
Philippines wept when Singapore hanged Filipina overseas worker Flor
Contemplacion, a death that apparently unraveled the chilling tragedy
behind the government’s labor importation policy.
And quickly the mourning turned to rage
over what Filipinos considered a punishment too barbaric and
inhumane. Contemplacion was hanged despite the appeals made by the
Philippine government to postpone the execution.
Looking back, a professor at
Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies said
Singapore was not prepared for the backlash brought by the decision
to hang Contemplacion. “Until that point, Singapore did not
fully understand the issue of human development in the Philippines.
