This is a pretty poor take. In order to get a permit to hire an FDW in Singapore, there has to be a demonstrated need, i.e. to care for young children or the elderly.
- rv-de 6y agoso? how is that making anything different? of course, sexual predatory behaviour is rampant among "employers" in such a system.
- exidy 6y agoSingapore is not perfect, of course, but the common problems with FDW working conditions are pretty well-documented. You are just making wild assertions to the benefit of nobody.

Oh, really?
- exidy 6y agoYour own links literally show that sexual abuse is least common type of FDW abuse documented in Singapore. And not by a small margin either. Yet it's what you chose to lead with.
- ValentineC 6y ago> In order to get a permit to hire an FDW in Singapore, there has to be a demonstrated need, i.e. to care for young children or the elderly. The actual criteria to get a permit doesn't seem too onerous [1]. There is a concessionary rate for the work permit levy if the household has young children, elderly, or disabled people though [2].

- exidy 6y agoThose are the minimum requirements before you can apply. To actually get the Work Permit issued, you must justify your need to MoM.
