An Indonesian woman who is assumed to be a domestic worker has been heavily criticised by social media users in Singapore after posting videos of herself poking fun at an elderly wheelchair-bound woman.
Taken by live-streaming app Tik Tok, also known as Douyin, the video has unexpectedly gone viral on various social media platforms, including Facebook pages like All Singapore Stuff, Lianhe Wanbao (Singapore) reported. Viewers on all platforms were strongly critical.
In the first part of the music-filled video, the maid can be seen recording herself while kneading the elderly woman’s face and chin to the beat of the pop song Sugar, by American pop-rock band Maroon 5.
Later in the video the elderly woman appears to be annoyed and tries to push the maid’s hand away, seemingly because she is being poked in her shoulder and face with the maid’s finger to the beat of music.
Underneath the video is the caption “main sm nene”, which translates to “playing with grandma”. The verdict by online viewers? Most rated the domestic worker’s behavior as “extremely disrespectful”.
I am Indonesian, I am a maid. What ‘that maid’ did in the video is very bad.
Our attitude toward others, I think, is not depend on what our nationalites are. So is our understanding of what people is saying, often it is misunderstood. But still, i think we can always avoid bad words so nobody gets hurt.
Marlene B. Goh ate hindi niya po nilalahat ang sabi niya yong ganyang klaseng maid hate niya.intindihin po muna ng maayos ung comment niya po.salamata
Ay grabe sila, bakit kase magagaling lang bumasa, pero hindi marunong umintindi. Wala naman siyang sinabi na lahat ng maid kahit anong race. Suskopo naman…Ang sabi nya hate nya yung ganong klaseng kasambahay at yung iba na kahit hindi Indonesian. Hindi nya sinabing LAHAT NG KATULONG. Ano ba kase.

Carol Capangpangan, Naintindihan ko po ang ibig nyong sabihin. It means po Hindi nya kailangang sabihin na pati pilipino din kasi para na rin syang nag conclude na na gagawin at magagawa ng pilipino.Sabi nya hate nga daw nya dahil sa ginawa ng Indo so hate nya kng pilipino din it means pag mangyayari kahihiyan din natin dapat advice ang sasabihin nya yung pabor sa atin para na rin nyang inihalintulad din tayo sa nga indonesian. Pero no problem maliit naman na deperensya at Pilipino din sya at malaya kang makapagsalita ng gusto mo
Carol Capangpangan,Naintindihan po ang sabi nya but in General po nung nagsabi sya na not only indonesian what if pilipino ang nag commit ng ganyang viral sa social media para na rin syang nag conclude na hate nya rin pag pilipino which is na Pilipino din sya at katulong din po cguro dapat sya maging biased sa comment but yes we are enritled sa mga sarili po nating opinion. Dapat nga po ang sasabihin nya naHate nya ang ganyang maling act nung tao but asia times hindi din po sila biased sa captio at content news. Ty

Malou Villegas hello
Kick out the maid without paying her salary of current month!
All individual has their own behavior so you should not generalized all people regardless their nationality…
Marlene B. Goh di po sya galit sa mga maid.
Sabi lang po nya galit sya sa ganyang klaseng maid.
Klase ng maid gaya ng nasa video.
She is only emphasizing any maid do the same, not only Indonesian. True you are getting salary but you dont know your limit? You are being paid to do the right.
Liza Flores Furtos You did say right; only to mis understood by genius. Hahaha. Don’t worry you not say anything wrong.
Liza Flores Furtos well dont mind it dear. Nakakawendang as in. Wala kng cnabing mali.
Mhel Calisura read again ok…
Sam Tomawis you’re an.example.of idioms person.
Marlene B. Goh… Did you read and understand carefully what Luza Flores Furtos said??? She don’t say she don’t like maids. She said "I hate this kind of maid" so she mean she don’t like the kind of maid that hurt elderly employer…
Why you said that she is generalizing? She said not just indonesian
Adel Conlas you don’t understand the words Liza said in her comment so don’t call her a bitch. But you are. Cause you just talk and don’t understand anything.
Liza Flores Furtos no need to explain your self sis… What you said is right. If they can’t understand it’s their problem. Don’t mind them…
