What began as an employer-helper relationship for one Singapore household has grown into a close bond over the years, with the family travelling to their helper’s hometown in Indonesia to attend her wedding and extend support to the local community.
Speaking to AsiaOne, Richard Kwok, 49, shared how the family’s four-year relationship with his helper, Anisa, 27, had grown into a close, family-like friendship that extended far beyond work.
“It is hard to find a good helper, and we have had our fair share of bad experiences. So when Anisa first came to us, she was very hardworking, and over time, we developed a close bond,” said the father of two.
Kwok added that the family has also travelled overseas with Anisa, including a trip to New Zealand last year.
However, it was only after spending a week in Anisa’s hometown of Indramayu from June 21 to attend her wedding that Kwok felt compelled to support the local community.
“Visiting Anisa’s hometown for her wedding really showed me how lucky we are back home. Many of the children there do not have access to necessities that we enjoy here,” said Kwok.
