Title: Maid in Singapore: The Serious, Quirky and Sometimes Absurd Life of a Domestic Worker Author: Crisanta Sampang Publisher: Times Editions, 2005 ISBN: 9812611703 Condition: Paperback. New. The real life account of a maid’s life in modern, ever busy Singapore. This book gives a no-holds-barred rendering of the domestic situation here. It tells of why young women are forced to work overseas, to live, work and struggle amongst strangers. It records the awe, fear and loneliness that domestics feel upon arrival. It details the juggling act that maids here are expected to perform – ie, to be nanny, cook, cleaner and sometimes, mistress. It chronicles the funny and sometimes absurd incidents and situations that some foreign workers get into. And last but not least, it speaks frankly about the aspirations, hopes and dreams of a whole race of people who bravely went where few would like to go.
