Despite her own injuries, an Indonesian domestic worker saved her employer’s son from a fire in Sai Wan on Hong Kong Island on Saturday. At 11pm, a range hood in an apartment on the fifth floor of Cheung Ling Mansion on Connaught Road West burst into flames and exploded, Oriental Daily reported.
The domestic worker, 34, who was working in the kitchen, was seriously burned, and she also injured her head as she fled from the blaze. Despite her injuries, she rushed into her employer’s son’s room and helped him run to the ground floor.
The seven-year-old boy of Turkish origin was unhurt, but the domestic worker’s face, arms and legs were burned. She was sent to hospital for medical treatment and was in serious condition.
Firefighters put out the blaze in 30 minutes. About 110 residents were evacuated from the building as a safety precaution, Apple Daily reported.
After an initial investigation, officials suggested that the fire was the result of a short circuit in the range hood.
The police and media reports did not disclose the name of the domestic worker.
Omg she is hero God bless you
Good my friend u are hero
The helper is indonesian it was mentioned in the report read the whole news not the caption thank you
Lailane Masangya Abool lol what shes trying to say is the name of the helper not the nationality,clearly she said THE NAME OF THE PERSON is not mention..not the nationality..read her comment..thank you
Lailane Masangya Abool yeah she is from indonesia….. and she did a good deeds…. but never mentioned her name coz she is like a hero…. but if she did something wrong for sure her name will be posted….. read my comment carefully
As a helper also here in HK I am very proud of you,you are hero,
they should mention also the name of the helper not only her nationality…. it is really unfair..
Really a hero
Be aware in hk media ,if the do something bad outomaticaly publish their name ,but do something good like a hero ,the hide their identity, …for discrimination reason lol…
what is important we know where and what country she came from…she’s an indonesian hero..
so what is your purpose in asking…
instead why not to pray both side employee and the employer .
Dona Junio tama
Dona Junio so what if they mention her name you can do anything? Atleast they mention her nationality thats enough.
Is asia times only covering on maids? Is it necessary to say or mention maid? Just asking..while in western country they dont call people maid ..they just call them with their names or say friend 😛
Nida Anguilar you still dont get the point?do you think its fair enough for the helper the way hk media give credits to her good deeds?but if we helper do something bad,,or something they think its inappropriate for their culture they will give the details,the name,age,place we live in the philippines,sometimes they even mention if the helper has kids back home..yes they give credit to the helper but it somepart they also show the discrimination..its okay if they dont mention the name,then media should not mention the name of the worker id they think we did something bad,we have familys to protect back home,…thank you
exactly,,and the worst thing they mention the name of the worker if he do something bad or inappropriate for them,but if the worker do good deeds they will call us maids not mentioning the name..i dont think its fair enough for domestic helper
