Posting in the Facebook group Singapore Transfer (No Fees/SD), Direct Hire & New Helper, the anonymous user said they were seeking advice on behalf of a friend who had been working in Singapore for only three months and was struggling with her current employment situation.
“Hi everyone, asking on behalf of a helper friend who is facing a tough situation. She’s been here for about 3 months and really needs some advice on what to do,” the post began.
The user alleged that the helper works extremely long hours every day.
“She works from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily. For lunch and dinner, her employer only provides the food shown in the photos. The employer says if it’s not enough, she should use her own money to buy more food for herself.”
