It’s finally happened. My mother’s maid ran away today. Although I’m actually feeling quite nauseous, I am forcing myself to get off my butt to blog about this because I am SO angry.
First of all, my mom got a driver to send her to hospital this morning for her check up. 2 weeks ago, we sent her to a private hospital for a check up because we were wondering why she is so incredibly stupid. We have never in our life met such a stupid person. Lo and behold, the results came back, and she was suffering from high blood pressure. So much for all their medical check ups before they start work. It’s all a scam! If she is not fit to work, her medical results before she came to Malaysia should not have permitted her to work.
So we decided, ok, we just have to accept that she is stupid. High blood pressure does cause brain damage when untreated and perhaps she has had it for so long untreated that half her brain isn’t working. I taught her how to play the memory card game with Tee and believe me, she is stupid. Tee wins ALL THE TIME. There is just no logic to her thought process. But never mind, we will just have to keep reminding constantly and do the extra work that she makes for us. What to do? Just bad luck that we got a stupid maid!
Anyway, my mom was kind enough to pay for private medical care for this woman and gullible enough (I can’t believe this, after having maids for 35 years, Mom still trusts maids!!!) to give the maid her passport when the maid said that the Doctor in Pantai Hospital wants to see her passport. I wouldn’t have believed that!
Since Mom is always out of the house, the maid took off to the Indonesian Embassy and made a complaint that Mom hasn’t paid her for a whole year and that she gets beaten up. HAAAAAAA??????!!!!!! Gosh, I’ll bet my Mom REALLY wants to beat her up now!!! What lies…….*sigh*
She had my Mom’s house keys, free access to go in and out. Mom never laid a finger on her. Shout, yes. Trust me, if you lived with her, you’d start shouting eventually. I never believe in shouting at people, it’s inhumane……but this woman……..even a monkey is smarter than she is. But obviosuly smart enough to ask for her passport and smart enough to run away to make a complaint? I’m wondering if the agent is in on this. Yet, the maid told the driver this morning that when she was sent back to the agent’s place recently when we went away to Chiangmai, the agent beat her up.
I don’t know who’s the liar now. The maid or the agent or both.
My mom really doesn’t need this shit. She is the simplest employer to have, so laid back, so trusting. One of her previous maids was paid RM600 and had so little work that she could watch every single episode of Akademi Fantasia and more. Even when the employers were home, she would take over the TV to watch her programme, not the employer’s! That’s how my Mom spoils her maids. She gives them too little work and too much freedom, because she is always out. Any maid who has worked elsewhere would attest that she is the easiest employer. But they always take her for granted.
Mom is right now at the Indon embassy…….let’s see what happens. I just wanted to warn you that even if you are nice to a maid and give her no reason to leave you, she could still turn away from you because the lure of the agent’s money is greater. Consider yourself warned.

Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


Somehow…with maids…no matter how good you treat them, they will say that you ill-treat them to their friends.
Even if you give them alot of food, they will say you starve them.
Even if work is not that much, they will say you work them to death…
Maids. All ONE kind…regardless what nationality….
Have experienced with Malaysian (long time ago, maids are from Tanjung Malim or Batangkali). Thai, Indonesian, Filipinas…….
ALL the SAME one lah….
Oh dear, I feel for you and your mom! Hope things sort themselves out soon, especially the untrue allegations.
haiya! lauya maids! really hate them la. hope everything is ok by now. dont so stress ok…
I wonder why your mum’s maid would want to run away? Such good employer! Maids…. I’m tired of them too but what to do, I can’t live without one. One thing about maid is that you can never be too nice to them or you’ll regret it when they turn their back on you.
Aiyo, your mom is such an angel but still this heartless devil want to run away. ::shake head::
Maid nowadays, really cannot trust em, cannot treat em too good.

Hi All. I would like to share something with you in order to help
our community…. We all have heard a lot of stories about how some
families were unfortunate to had a bad experiences with their maids, there
are also those who were promised by agents with good maids but end up with
a problematic maid that would only last for 1 or 2 months because they are
scam!. If we can share our experiences and put them into the MAIDLARI.COM
portal, we can all promote and make this portal our community database so
we all could leverage on it and refer to it in the future when we want to
choose our maid…
