Make this the best place for foreign maids to work in

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Thursday's commentary, 'Relook maids' pay and benefits'.
It never crosses our minds that it is inhumane or unethical to require that a human being work 24 hours a day, seven days a week with no rest day - for even when a maid is sleeping, she is on call.
So long as Singaporeans refuse to look at this issue squarely and deal with it, we will always be a people without a soul. Our neighbours will always consider us selfish and exploitative, because that is what we are.
This nation cannot continue to measure itself by materialistic yardsticks alone, or we will end up not much better than the colonialists we hated not so long ago.
I look forward to a day when Singapore is considered the best place for foreign maids to work because they are treated with dignity and respect, part of the inalienable rights of any human being.

This is no difference from those Africans slave trade, people are forced to work for one reason or another with bearly enough to keep them going.

Of course today you can't go to that extreme but this maid thing where government and agent colluded to milk from them is the closest you can get for present day slave trade.

And with no surprise, our whiter then white, cleaner then shit government is part of it, together with all their other cash cow like money laundering, work with other dictators in exchange for oil deal, 40 years of milking own citizen ect ect....

No wonder Ho jinx can burn our reserve away like hell bank notes.
