'MAIDS OF HORROR'

ON THE surface, she seems, at best, like a fussy employer for having had 12 maids in six years.
Instead, Madam Wang could well qualify to be the unluckiest 'ma'am' in Singapore.
She is now waiting for the replacement for maid No 11 to arrive.
Madam Wang, who usually has two maids at a time, already has No 12 working for her and the new one will be No 13.


MAID 1: Filipino maid runs up $1,300 phone bill calling the Philippines. Madam Wang returns maid to agency after 2 months.

MAID 2: Filipino maid quarrels with MadamWang after she returns from giving birth at hospital. Blood stains in toilet from water bag bursting not cleaned up after 3days. Maid complains about how much work she has to do. Returned to agency after 8 months.

MAID 3: Transfers from Madam Wang's mother-in-law. Indonesian maid good but asks to return home after 2 years.
