An underground walkway near a Singapore railway station has become a popular rendezvous for foreign domestic workers, but their displays of affection have upset some Singaporeans.
One 45-year-old resident wrote to the Shin Min Daily News to complain that some couples were displaying too much affection, leading reporters from the paper to carry out their own investigation at the Ang Mo Kio MRT Station.
The reporters discovered at least four pairs of migrant worker lovers cuddling and kissing. However, residents had mixed views about the public displays of affection, with most saying it was not causing a problem in the community.
Residents told the reporters they see maids meeting and spending Sundays in a nearby park or in the tunnel. They added that as long as they did not block the way their freedom to enjoy their rest day should be respected.
Thanking God for a good employers like you who appreciated our (speaking for us Filipinos) hard work and sacrifices and regarding your helper as one of your family members.
ILoyalty and faithfulsness is.. shall I say..truly one of characteristics of many Filipinos.. Proud to say that.. as many of my friends had been working with their employers for more than 10 years.. I.myself is included.. as We regards also our dear employers like our 2nd family.. We treasured the trust that they have given unto us and in return, we do appreciate their kindness and stay faithful and grateful towards them. As long as both are happy, open, understanding and peaceful working together through the years…. that will be the foundation of good relationship for both and stay long.????
You’re a good employer mr Liew,
Because you have a good heart
God blessed you with a good employee too.
Talaga mga Singaporeans ! Lahat observado !
I think not only domestic helper are showing too much affection because what i saw different race mostly young couples singaporean some in mrt, public park. Bus stop.
Ganyn nmn sila napakepo…pero.may mga lahi din nila ang nagpapakita ng public kissing also…so why they bother???
Exactly????????
Evry Sunday Banglas and maids set up ‘sex camps’ @East Coast Park right in a public recreation area, NPark authorities check all the covered tents!!!
Is it illegal to have sex inside a tent? If not, why do youcwant to disturb them?
Exactly…most are singaporean doing that,kissing and hugging anywhere in public..
This keppoh people talking mention only maid do that????rxcuse me u blind ah singaporean also did that in public inside mrt I saw that many times but im not keppoh so I don’t care.people do like that that means they are sweet.let them be as Long they never block ur way the problem is ur eyes don’t see lah ????
How do you know that ?have you seen them,are you one of them doing it with you gf?
Nasudi Nga Ayat haha you are right.. maybe he is one of them ( having sex inside the tent ) ????????
Singaporeans before judge other specially migrant workers look around first… there are also SINGAPOREAND hugging kissing in the skeletor and mrt.. GOSH…
Do you remember the antie and the uncle having sex brewed ligth in the mc richie…. shame on you…. THEY ARE SINGAPOREANS dude…atleast banglans and maids ow how to hide there intimate moment inside the tent..
Hi there im just concern about this matter just want to clarify if you reporting about this kind of matter can u just not specify only the maid…hello! Dont be unfair when you report something why always pointing out the maids? Dont you think that a lot of people doing this in public not only the maid…can you just consder the other maids atleast…u can make a report but pls.don’t use the word "maids" as if all maids or helper doing that such thing…..next time try to focus to your self….Thank you
Yes correct mostly also singaporean young couples are doing that. Many time i saw inside mrt.
Hahahha pakialamaan niyo ang iba pero sarili buying lupa grave maghalikan sa mrt at bus nangialam nakami?kalorkey wala akong bf dito pero grave talaga itong mga taga sto pakialamero ????
Banglas are sex predators, stalking preying our maids for free sex. Maids alone will be pestered for hp nmbrs. Once a maid tells her harrowing exprience being followed all the way from Paya lebar to Sengkang, unfortunately maids are naive about reporting to authorities for fear of being send home.
Ingit sila kasi hindi romantika karamihan Mga jowawa nila
Roger Lim
Correct
Is none of ur business madam..pakialamera mo madam
Yes.i saw younger couples too kissing..to shame
Selos lang yan c lola kasi d cla mka pa display punta pa cla sa malaysia para mag tago hahahaha ….
Agree to u sir
Agree to u Nadu hahahaa
Inggit lang c Lola sis habaha
Probably true
Mohamed Yusoff Idris maybe you also do the same thing inside the tent at east coast park that’s why u know about this matter???????? or simply you are JEALOUS because u cannot get gf because your old already. Anyway, its not of your business whatever the couple doing inside tent ok!!?? KAYPO lah you!!!!
Not only migrants workers do this..but also singaporian..nxtime bfore you cmplain fot nonsense…look at your face at mirror maybe one of them is you…u complain if migrant workers or maid step at your foot..
How do u know did you do that to?
Yes..its true..complain nonsense…ayoooh.
Yah…sometimes they can see us because we are maid here in singapore only….
Hindi naman ata kasi magandang don kayo nagpi PDA….remember public po yon…may tamang lugar para don….just sayin
u r right
They are to much when they observe migrant worker but did u look local people who did that to, its their off days after a long weekend so its non of any 1’s business of what migrants doing as long as they never block the walk way or pathway.
This is absolutely ridiculous. In this complain it shows discrimination! We feel that many Singaporeans mostly Chinese look at us so differently( the helpers) that we have no right for everything. We are here to help your daily living and that’s the contract. It doesn’t includes that you can have access in our personal life. There are so many issue about maids being abuse why don’t you allotted an space for this Article? Stop discrimination!!! We have all the right and as long as we are doing our job,interfering or being busy body in such a things that cause no harm to everybody shows that you are miserable in your life. It’s a piece of crop that shows your narrow mind!!!!
Tama ka sis ????
Exactly! And most of all it’s their off day, they can do what they want because their enjoying their rest day with their friends or boyfriends or whatever and they don’t bother you at all. Mind your own business madam, instead go check and see what other Singaporean couple do inside the MRT.
Yeah it’s true there are some helpers doing that but they are not harm u.And not only migrants people that also young Singaporean doing it…DONT be unfair before u report think twice if your fellow Singaporean are not doing it same as the migrants people in Singapore.
I’m a Singapore. I see nothing wrong in the public affection shown by maids and migrants workers. What about we, the singaporeans. Ain’t we the same. Are we showing a good examples too? What about the public affection shown by shown by singaporean couples…cuddling in mrt trains and public buses. We are also the same like the maids and migrant workers. Be gracious! Don’t act as good if we are the perfect nationalities!! We shall respect them and don’t treat them as a second class citizens. When we see singaporean couples cuddling and kissing in public places, we just ignore it. The same shall be done to the maids and the migrant workers. Look at the mirror ourselves and ask are we that gracious and pious?
Sus sila nga mismo mga Singaporean sa l99b pa ng MRT tsk tsk. Why they dontjust bother their own lives ????????????
hahahs mas grabe pa nga sila khit nga sa loob ng mrt may ngfifingeran hahahaha
True…and besides please used the word some…because not everyone is doing so. Do not be bold and specific. And by the way there are some locals who are doing the same thing too. We appreciate tje complainants concern…but it is precisely not oir businesses.
That’s our freedom we never disturb anyone they are correct not only maids or migrants doing kissing hugging also Singaporeans teen ager also inside the met they doing that not only us
Meron nga sa train mismo nag hahalikan eh…kalahi n nila yan mga teenage p pero wala silang pakialam pagdating sa mga pinay grabe sila makialam hmmmmpppp…nakakainis haha..
Exactly infront of me last time the teenage couple are kissing ..but they doesn’t care…everywhere they do that..i’ve seen it most of the time
Roger Lim ..that guy sounds like a pervert
Jenny Huerto De Guzman ..this guy went and peep that how he knows
I think this complainant never experience going holiday in many places around the world, why don’t you focus on how you treat your helper right inside your home wether you are the good employer or not. Not only maids showing to much affection in public here in your country different nationalities and local as well. Stop looking down maid because most of us especially filipinas attained diplomas back home.
It’s an unfortunate example of ethnic and racial prejudice in Singapore. No one complains about ex-pats showing signs of affection. Hmmm….
Correct but most of tine singaporean do this in MRT like his her first night same !!!
From 28 months to 43 months… he must be banging his head to the wall… spend lawyer fee and end up extented time… aicaramba…
Yes a lot of young singaporean doing kissing in public not only mrt bus also inside the shopping mall
Exactly
Hahaha padan muka
Hahaha judge your self before you judge others gets mo
Hahaha
wow .only maid u can see.singaporean also doing that in public places.specially inside mrt they dnt care to the people around them important their happy kissing hugging.u must focus the maid no food and delay salary.
I have a friend, she’s working here 30+yrs in one employer only…she is 65 yrs old now and going home for good this month because of her age..her employer’s kids have their own family now…her boss lady just passed away…
Kung d naman iskandaloso masyado n gawain bkit b pakialaman isa p kiss and hugging not scandalous act ita normal to a person, kung nag make out n cguro un n dpt mag react.
Pero meron p dn tao n xado p old fashion kya d dn ntin masisi c auntie n mag react sa nkita nya hehehe
Its not only helpers doing that but locals too….but in general..nakakahiya naman talaga yong ginagawa ng ibang mga katulong dito..pumunta tayo dito para magtrabo hindi para mag landi..buti sana kung mga single eh karamihan sa mga naglalandi my mga pamilya..hindi sapat na rason ang homesick..bago tayo pumunta dito dpat buo ang loob pra sa pamilya.
Nasudi Nga Ayat you are right sir. As they say:thinkers are the doers.
..eaaaaahhhhh tlgang tinitira mga maids ah,bkit kayo lage nakamata sa mga domestic,why you are not trying to look your own first specially your own kids if what they ate doing also after school!!!!nakakagigil na ah
Too Free, Sex in open?
I’ve experienced that for a few times already..and it’s quite scary being followed by someone u doesn’t know..
Exactly sir
Even also Singaporean doing like this
Oh! Common! Everything u complaiN!!! ????????????
tama lng naman e dapat in a proper place, I was also passing under MRT station by going church mga kabayan andon naghalakhakan may mga kasama pang bangla..dapat mag observed din tayo ng proper standard of manners kahit ano pa sabihin natin we are strangers in their homelands. we should not act and stand like Singaporean, always in mind that we are Filipinos..
Too free that old fellar observing the whole singapore no work to do meh since u open wide your eyes why only foreigner you saw what abt local disturbing people in iscalator mall busses kissing like making a movie your eyes is bias lol
Berto somine
A Big check???????? Young singaporean student still in uniform i have neen kissing and hugging ….
Just saying ????????
What about amor people, no one complaining about them!
Only because they are a maids or FDW that’s why you started complaining about what they do.
Hello mind ur words mr, mind ur own business, too keppo to others are not good. If u see those workers outside and u think they are thorns to ur eyesight, then dont look at them. Ur not a good person already by the way how u judge to others. U think ur going to heaven when u die???? Good person must behave as what they supposed to be….
Exactly even inside the mrt teenage Singaporean couple mostly doing that
Kaunting hiya at mag iingat lagi mga kababayan dahil hindi lang tayo ang mga nakikitaan nila ng mga gawang ganyan sa ibang lahi din dahil talaga namang naipon jan sa lugar na sinabi ang mga ganyan hmmmmm nakakahiya
That is correct just some people never notice
Hahaha is true why bother
Also Singaporean they kissing in mrt,and bus! Complain too much!

hehehe because he dont have partner
Is it a big deal?How about young local Singaporeans or even Aunties Singaporean cuddling,kissing inside mrt is it acceptable?You all locals pls be a good example to all foreigners.If u think u not doing mess,then make a complain.
Wow its Singaporeans have no feeling to love very good i appreciate maids who feel inlove with somebody. God bless
Lahat nalang ibabawal.. jusko hindi lang nman maids eh.. kahit nga mga kabataan na singapirean or whatsoever na lahi..

Oh come on not only domestic workers did that but also singaporean young couple on public transit… Pple only fucos on maids never see thier own.
Woww so proud to be your helper a very good boss….so lucky helper so one can be trusted and understanding God bless family… ????????????????
that is 100% TRUE!!!
I hope the govt have a law that helps maid if they are pregnant, the bangla or person responsible must bear the cost of loss income/medical, deportation costs etc. Becuz most of time the women bear the costs and risks
Darkem Juragan Jengkol yes you are right, i see a lots Singaporean take helper too even they have wife and kids,but why they don’t concern to their husband
Men has free will. Not unless they are against the law
OMG,,,I hate drugs.????????????????
Be nice and respect everyone. As humam being its normal as long as they arr not bothering others too.
Hmmm…..i saw some singaporeans also do that showing public affection kissing and cuddling too….hellooooo
Eh paano some sgn idiot and stupid except the good one. Because of they insecure they are very busy body…..
You are right not only domestic helper some sgn even inside the mrt they kissing each other.
Nasudi Nga Ayat,your right

Inggit lng cla sa mga maid bkit nd nla obserbahan sa loob ng mrt meron ngang local na mag syota nilalaro ari ng syota nya st pinaamoy pa sa girl yuck!!! Nd b yn dapat pagtuonan nla ng pansin….
.
And the old man say that they have sex inside the tent I think his peeping that’s why he knows peeping yon
Nasudi Nga Ayat ha ha ha pudno ta kunam kabsat.
Joy Khia Reign EXACTLY ????????????
Exactly!!!!!!
We came here to work as helpers but as far as I’m concerned we are entitled to our own privileges and offdays. Whatever we do is our business as long as we don’t put the name of our employers at stake or in a case of embarrassment . We have the right to enjoy our off day after a long week of tiresome work at home. And as long as we’re not doing it inside our home then there’s nothing for you to say against us. Maybe you lack affection from people who’s suppose to give you one. We’re not mad or angry at you, actually we pity you. Maybe one time you can come and meet me and I will give u a tight hug or even a peck on the kiss to let you feel my love lol…
Why you all bother about them..we can get anything from them but anyway Singaporean are doing as well as long as they never create a problem in public…what you see, just ignore…
Wow good Singapore an couples
Omg b4 u judge them go and explore ur eyes i hve seen mny singaporeans especially teenage kissing and hugging on mrt,in the bus and on the open area of some HDB,at the end of the day we’re all humans that hve feelings and affections as long as their not hving sex in public place why u bother don’t be busy body lah?unless if ur bitter in ur life ofcourse u will get upset to see this couples,mostly singaporeans just see the migrant workers but their own people they don’t see?
What are a peeping tom or pervert
Even they are a domestic worker they are a human. We can’t control they felling and emotions. You can see in public too how Singaporean behave with the partner. So don’t look one eye on domestic worker. Thank you.
She report it maybe because she saw her husband that sweet to the maid????????????
She Consider This Display Too Much Affection Disturbing. She Should Pop In Hotel 81 At Cross Street On Sunday Morning
That is what they said " they can see others short coming and differences but they can’t see thiers" ???????????? after all nobody’s perfect peru kng maka comment sila wagas ????
Aiyah.. Why they bother.. As long the can manage to care about situations. Here employers never give them shame full. Also we part of to be happy when we go out.. For rest day.. Look when employers give that person having a freedom sure respect have every time.. Can go smoothly her job… That a nice.. Only some Singaporean.. There’s no brains at all.. Only think that a pay you salary so works till the Helpers go blur blur.. Hahahai God… We no pakek all this.. No use… As long my employer’s good at all..
Darkem Juragan Jengkol correct Singaporean they are enjoying to have sex to the maid
