A Singapore employer was left disappointed after her domestic helper allegedly became uncontactable after reaching the airport for her flight home to Myanmar to visit her sick mother.<\/p>\n
In a social media post on Friday (Aug 7), the woman, who goes by the name Angeline Lim on her account, said the helper had worked for her family for five months before asking to return home.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t a life threatening emergency, but I understood that she wanted to be with her family \u2014 so I said yes,” said the mother of three.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lim added that before buying the flight ticket, she had also checked with the helper on whether she intended to return to Singapore, and was told that she would come back.<\/p>\n
Trusting her, Lim, 37, bought a two-way flight ticket costing $437 to Yangon.<\/p>\n
However, things took a different turn on the day of the flight, when Lim claimed that the helper stopped responding after informing her that she had reached the airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite sending multiple messages, Lim wrote that she was disappointed that the helper had not been honest about her intentions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I am not angry that she chose to leave, I am disappointed that she chose to lie and take my kindness for granted. If she had been honest, we would avoided paying for a return flight she never intended to take,” said Lim.<\/p>\n
She has since reportedly cancelled the helper’s work permit.<\/p>\n
Lim said her family still had another helper who could help shoulder the workload.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has reached out to her for more information.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n[[nid:740827]]<\/p>\n
