Singapore Domestic Helper Alleges Exploitation: Works Past 11 PM, Lost 6kg, Pays for Food

  • A domestic worker in Singapore sought help on Facebook, claiming her employers make her work beyond 11 PM daily with no breaks.
  • She alleges being paid the minimum basic salary but forced to cover her own food, groceries, toiletries, and even household cleaning supplies.
  • The worker reported delayed salary payments (over a month late) and significant physical and mental strain, leading to a 6kg weight loss.
  • She raised concerns with employers, but no improvements were made; she is hesitant to change jobs due to an uncompleted contract.
  • Facebook users advised her to report the case to Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and maintain records of unpaid wages and expenses.
