A 38-year-old Filipino maid almost got caught breaching Hong Kong regulations against accepting part-time work after she was asked to clean an apartment that did not belong to her regular employer.
The woman nicknamed “Lenglui,” which literally means “Pretty Girl” in Cantonese, has been working for her current employer for three years, sunwebhk.com reported. Last month, she was offered a cleaning job in Kennedy Town by a fellow Filipino.
On December 3, Lenglui went to to the apartment and met the man who was living there. He asked her to clean up the apartment while he was away for a meeting for a short time.
As Lenglui was cleaning the apartment, she saw a document hanging on the wall that identified the man as an immigration officer. She immediately left the apartment and sent a message to the man that it is illegal in Hong Kong for domestic workers to have part-time jobs.
Lenglui erased all relevant mobile messages as she was afraid she would be arrested.
The article did not say whether the incident was a setup by immigration authorities or if the man genuinely needed help cleaning his apartment.
Lenglui has been reminding fellow Filipinos not to trust people automatically, especially about illegal job offers.
She sent a letter to a man saying illegal for domestic worker to get part time job? But whats legal of her to be inside a strangers house in the first place? She committed 2 illegal acts at the same time.
Most Filipino trap their own counter parts or friends to clear their way to work for that employer. It’s not astonishing. They are always complaining against each other.
If you know it’s illegal, then why do it?
Wilson Yao ..that’s impossible!!!
Why they die, they have to budget what is renitted for them.
Wilson Yao . Your funny philippines is not like hongkong that if you don’t have you will die in hunger or jump to your death ….
For Mr. Wilson Yao, I’m sorry sir
Pero hindi po lahat ng Filipino ganyan mag-isip
For me I don’t give fish to feed my family but instead I gave them rod for them to fish for themselves.
Kaya I enjoyed my holiday as well as I enjoyed my salary

How to enjoy holiday ? Thousands of relatives in the Philippines are waiting for your remittance or they will die from hunger right ?
Thats is surely set up,because immigration personel knew that it is prohibited to the rules regulation in hk ,so better not to do PT
illegal employer must catch too,there is no illegal maid if there is no illegal employer,,,be fair …!
Viel Kanzel fdh are not allowed to do partime job… What is written in our contract must follow only to work with our employer… Someone recommended her to work with an immigration officer.. And i think it is a set up.. It is illegal
Hindi nman lahat ng immigration officer nasunod sa batas.meron nga clang driver live out.!
It’s illegal don’t do such partime holiday means rest if don’t want rest talk to your employer i don’t want all holidays i want half every month if they agree then will get paid for those days didn’t off
If someone recommended her,then it’s really a partime. I am working part-time to a family of police before.
Fellow Filipino introduced her to do partime job.. And she was set up? Oh.. Thats crab mentality.. Really hard to trust anyone..
Id just hope this will be lesson for us helpers not to take partime jobs.. Just enjoy our holiday.. Learn to live within your means..
Ate Merly Bunda it’s seems same story this one you said few weeks ago. .. probably is this the one they talking about. ..
