Pregnant maids Commenting

A few bloggers and writers to the ST Forum have been touching on the issue of employer - maid relationship in Sg and the problems both face. One issue is that employers are fined $5,000 if the maid gets pregnant - which some employers state as the reason why they dun give their maids a day off. You try to be humane and give the maid a day off and she gets pregnant outside your house - and you are punished for it.

So, just to clarify … the issue isnt about the maid having sex, just about her getting pregnant, right? Perhaps, all can be happier if sex education (with special emphasis on contraceptions) is part of the induction package where maids are taught household tasks?

You may wish to note that control of the body and its functions, esp reproductive, is a hallmark of slavery.
