Maid Story II - Maid Nightmare



My friend's maid run away living her 3 children at home. Not without taking her laptop and other valuables.

She had the maid for only 5 days. The agency is giving her many excuses about her getting a replacement. She has lost hope. She said that the whole thing is a scam from the beginning.

It all started earlier this year when she approached an agency for a maid. She paid RM 3000 deposit to facilitate the documentation. Halfway through the process, the agency called, telling her that she faced some problems about getting her and the others maids (there was maid crisis earlier this year with Indonesian government- but not sure if that can be one of the reasons). 

Instead of refunding her money,the maid asked my friend to deal with  another agency which the former agent claimed as her friend and she told my friends that the new agency will take over and hand her the maid.  What happened since then is a roller coaster ride of being pushing here and there and been giving thousand excuses- and what made matter worse is the agent and her so called agency's friend are facing an internal cat and dog crises and they are not talking to one another. RM3000 is gone to the 1st agency and an additional 1000 to the 2nd agency AND NO MAID.

After months of consistent follow up (with anger and frustration and tension and yelling and screaming and her perseverance of not giving up) she was handed with a 30 year old maid. TG. Finally.

But what the heck if she disappeared after 5 days?- The stupid maid left my friend's  1.5 year old baby downstairs with the front gate, door and pintu gril unlocked. That thought only send a chill  through my body. Hellooooooo, what happen if the baby goes out and wander around? the worse could happen.

Luckily it was already 5pm and mummy was on her way back and luckily also her eldest son and daughter age 8 and 6 years old noticed that the stupid kakak was not around and quickly called the security guard for help.

ps: I am so annoyed - if nak lari pun adala perikemanusian skit but then I think dia memang mengong and for that why she need any humanly act at all.
