[154] Pinoy maids killed outside Lucky Plaza because we dont give them enough public space
- Thread starter TerrexLee
- Start date
In 2015, there were about 70,000 Filipino maids here. Since then, the number has climbed to 80,000, estimates Philippine Embassy in Singapore's labour attache Saul T. De Vries.
Yet, it seems public spaces for these workers have failed to grow in tandem - with many settling for pavements outside Lucky Plaza to spend their days off - until last Sunday's horrific accident, when a car rammed into a group picnicking on a pavement, killing two maids.
It was the same spot where Madam Incillo would meet her 30-year-old daughter, who came here to work as a maid last year, for breakfast or lunch every Sunday.
"Now, I realise it's not safe. I used to think it was the safest place. What happened really opened my eyes. I was wrong, we really shouldn't be sitting beside the road," she says, recalling how her daughter was shopping in Lucky Plaza when the tragedy occurred outside.
Madam Incillo says: "We used to gather inside the mall. But we were accused of overcrowding the mall and were chased out. This happened many years ago."

They should place benches inside the mall for maids to picnic and eat.
Work, remit money, picnic, church, sex.
u don't need big public spaces to make love.... guess who said that
Changi beach, east coast, pasir ris, west coast, botanics, sembawang beach and so on. So many open spaces and parks. But they just need to be at unLucky Plaza.This shithole's overcrowded. Perhaps you should have let them have their park at Paterson Road instead of building ION Orchard.
Their shops, restaurants, pubs and remittance agencies all there.
singapore needs moer of those spaces IMO.
when I first read that I was wondering where got shops, rests and pubs at changi beach...
started thinking they converted the whole island into pinoy plaza.
They could shop and remit money before meeting at the park. They don't patronise restaurants and pubs, they bring their own food and drinks.
Yes we all know that. But open spaces yield very little money for the government. More profitable to build flats, factories and other concrete structures.
all they need is a tent in public parks to offer pubic services and private spaces to play with private parts.

A preamble to damage control for that driver, likely to be good friend of maggots maggotess in white. That the Bun Muis in wrong as they picnic illegally. And driver cleared of all charges and Bun Muis families to reimburse him for damage to his car.
Potluck is for picnics. There are Pinoy eateries inside Lucky Plaza.
Number should be 79998 cos 2 just died at Lucky Plaza accident.
They're easily replaced. Can't let their employers be maidless now, can we?
