Wanted : dead or alive....!!

Same old story.... like many Malaysian families have encountered.... Pembantu rumah at my mom's house sudah lariiikkkk...!!!

hmmm... I am wondering what goes throough their mind when they do that... Effa has been with us for less than 6 months... Dpt pun illegally... supposed to be a cousin of Viviek/Bibik (in the middle in above photo). She was alrdy in Malaysia, and looking for a job... and we needed someone to help my parents at home (especially my mom who is not 100% mobile, leg injury..).

Tak disangka2... I believe that we have treated her well... No abuse for sure, and she was becoming part of the family... Shawl yang gua bawak balik dari Dubai hari tuh pun (utk bagi kat sedara mara), gua ada bagi sehelai kat dia... Iyalah, org berbudi, kita berbahasa... I must say that she has also been doing a good job at home... My mom was happy with her work, and when I was back in Ipoh during Raya, I can see myself that she was doing what she was supposed to be doing.... So, semua hepi2 ler...

The only thing is that rumah tuh memang senyap sikit... Only my parents left at home, her work was to make sure that the house is clean, cook for my parents, and accompany my mom whenever my mom goes to hospital for "wound cleaning & dressing"... and... that's about it... Since the house is a bit quiet, my mom let her go stay with her cousin at the nursing home from time to time....

Nak jadi cerita, one evening she stayed at the nursing home, andddd.... late evening, she left with a guy.... Viviek/Bibik pun (supposedly sepupunya... cakap depa nih bukan boley percaya sgt pun) tak terkata apa.... hmmm....

apa nak buat... nasib baik tak bayar apa2 to hire her last time.... (but my mom gave 3 weeks advance salary, because she said that she needed some money for family matters. Tak ada barang hilang kat rumah...)... Apa nak dikata...? dapat dia dulu pun secara tak halal..., dah asalnya tak bagus, langsung cam ni lah jadinya... what to do....

But seriously, I wonder what goes through her head... We were not demanding on her work, we treated her well... and I have to say that she also did her job well.... Kenapa nak ke tempat lain? dah la org buat cerita... "larik ikut jantan..."

so sesapa jumpa dia (photo, in red rectangular), cakap kat dia, "Bapak Johan kirim salam... Selamat Maju Jaya"

Aisehhh, aku baru berkira2 nak ambik bibik kat KL utk temankan isteri. Dengar cerita ni terus potong stim. Dont know how to trust Indon maid anymore. Heard so many stories already. Good maids and bad ones. Tapi selalunya bad ones.

Boley bro... cuma memang kena control abis2 nyer... Passport kena pegang, no communication with other people (supaya depa tak terpengaruh dgn orang lain...). Kalau ditinggalkan kat rumah pun, tak boleh bagi keluar. Bagi kunci rumah kat neighbour, just in case kalo ada apa2 emergency, the maid herself tak leh pegang kunci rumah... Yes, it sounds very drastic, but it has to be done to ensure that the maid will stay

That's what exactly happened at my mum's place too. The indonesian maid was loved, and everyone like her. Tapi tiba-tiba dia lari dari rumah.... with a guy.

Two of my colleagues have the same experience. Maid ran away with another guy.

This seems to be the trend. Maid ran away with a guy. So, the best way to solve the problem, get an old maid! hehehe
