Lend Me Your Ears (4 Humility & Charity)

LRD 21 May 2013
With thousands of maids from other countries working here in Singapore, a helpline has been set up. This service, in English and Bahasa Melayu, will be ready next month and maids can call the line at any time of the day. They can call for information on issues such as their day, work permit matters and also to discuss personal problems. They can even call simply because they need someone to talk to, a listening ear.
Imagine you are a maid. What would you call the helpline about?

    If I am a maid , I would call to video call to my parents by using a borrowed computer to see them.
    So I will be relieved to hear they are okay. And my parents would not be so worried about me .
    I will also sent clothes and money to them if they are not feeling well ,they could use the money to see the doctor or buy some food .

    If I am a maid I will do my best and not laze around playing with my phone [If I have one]. I will also send the money I earn back to my home country to my family.
    I will also call to ask for more info on Singapore. I will also call to let them know my feelings, what I feel about my employer. I also will call them I my employer refuses to give me my pay. I will definitely try my best to be respectful to my employer. Sometimes, I heard of such cases where the employer is abusive then I will call them, if it gets worse then I will call the police[Is the number of police 999?].
