Wow, I was aghast that this happens here (sorry lah, don't really read the newspapers, so a bit slow). Are Singaporeans getting too selfish? Read this recently:
"Not too long ago, there was a debate on whether the Ministry of Manpower should enforce a mandatory one-day off every month for foreign domestic workers here. Employer brought up various arguments to justify why the maids should not be given a day off. Granted, some considerations may be valid. But the double standard it exposes is also rather frightening! Surely most Singaporeans would not accept a job that does not guarantee even one day off a month! So why are Singaporean employers so reluctant to give their maids the rest that they themselves would unashamedly demand?"
Although I don't have a maid, I would say grant them at least 2 days off per month! They only have these off days and us? We get at least a day off each weekend plus annual leave. Quite terrible right?
