Title: Fdw Agency In Singapore
1Best Domestic Workers In Singapore
2Housemaid is a platform where employers can find
a maid best suited to their requirements. Apart
from providing the best experience of finding a
suitable maid, housemaid also updates its viewers
about the latest news on maids working in
Singapore.
3As a part of a volunteer group called LIPS
(Ladies in the Power of Service), domestic
workers spend time visiting patients warded at
Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for more than a
year. They talk, play mahjong, sing and engage in
fun activities bringing joy to the lives of the
patients Of the 1000 long stay patients, only one
third receive regular visitors.
4Mr. Chua, a 66-yr patient at IMH for 13yrs with
schizophrenia feels a change in routine while
talking and interacting with the volunteers. LIPS
was started in November, 2012 by a group of 6
domestic workers as a meaningful way to spend
their one day off at work each week.
5Presently, a total of 54 members volunteer with
the group which is growing at a fast pace majorly
through the word of mouth. Inspite of such noble
ideas, there are numerous cases where the
domestic workers especially the foreigners face
various disputes with their employers. One such
case being when a couple did not want their
Indian maid back even after she was cleared of
the charges of stealing as filed against her by
her employers.
6They wanted her to be prosecuted. FAST volunteers
realized that she might not be prepared yet to
work in Singapore as she felt that she had a lot
of work to do and also complained about her
employers being too strict and always finding
fault in her work, whether it be washing, ironing
of clothes or cooking.
7Mr. William Chew, 58, Fasts Executive Director
told that it was then when they had to make a
judgment call that working in Singapore might not
be the best option for her at present as she was
not justifying her job scope as a domestic helper.
8FAST volunteers managed to get the air ticket
booked by her employers to get her back home but
there was still something more to it. The maid
accused her employers of not paying her the
salary, a sum of 150, for the investigation
period which the employers were hesitant to pay
the full amount.
9But FAST managed to convince them for the same
and the maid was sent back to her home country,
India within next 2 days. Because of this, the
Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Social
Support and Training (FAST) has decided to
intervene and provide mediation services to the
Foreign Domestic Workers (FDW) of Singapore by
playing the role of a neutral third party in such
disputes
10Celebrating their 10th Anniversary in February
2016, FAST has announced the official launch of a
mediation service for maids and employers with 5
mediators on board who will be provided with the
training on labor laws and FDW rights beforehand.
Initially, the mediation sessions will be held
twice a month, in the FAST clubhouse at Tanjong
Pagar.
