Day +1069 : Booking a maid

I am fine today.

My current maid’s work permit will be expiring middle of July. We are not going to renew her contract as she really didn’t perform.

She is not only lazy but also likes to steal. We only realized this when we saw her possessing a handphone that worth RM600. When we questioned where she got the hand phone, she told us that she borrowed it from the maid next door. But later we found out from the maid next door that she actually passed her RM600 cash to purchase the handphone. Where did she get the money from? As a maid is not allowed to keep any money, it must be from us. And since we didn’t give her money, then she must have stolen it from us :-(

Apart from the handphone, she also has the luxury to purchase junk foods and beauty products – all at our expenses without our knowledge.

She is very dishonest, and always denied responsibility when she did something wrong. She also uses things belong to others such as facial wash, lotion without permission.

However, we didn’t confront her much, but would not renew her contract anymore.

I booked a maid from Agensi Pekerjaan HAZ Sdn. Bhd. today – the same agency that supplied the current maid to us. The maid is from Nunkurus, no working experience. She is 22 years old with secondary education.

The fee is as follow:

Agency fees: RM2,415
Indonesia processing fee: RM1,600
Christian maid recruitment: RM200
6 months advance salary: RM4,500

This makes the total as high as RM8,715, and I have to pay a deposit of RM2,500 today. The rest will have to be paid once the maid arrives, which is expected two months from now. Though I have to pay RM750 per month for the first 6 months advance salary, the monthly salary after that is fixed at RM550.

May God bless the new maid! And may God bless us!

The maid, 40kg only. What do you think?
See you next post :-)
