Actually, you are missing/have missed the whole point. The PBI doesn't care whether she's got a work permit or not. If they "want" to bounce her, they will and there is SFA anybody can do about it. Nobody is saying that they will, but there's too many times that it has happened. She's not being prevented from going to the Philippines so once she steps foot on Philippines soil, she is no longer under Singapore's jurisdiction, holding a work permit or not, full stop. She is then at the mercy of the Philippines government.
I find it quite remarkable that that not one of you on this thread have helped the OP get her maid out of Singapore!
Nakatago:@ksl, like I said. You don't argue with someone who doesn't use logic.
Don't bring a knife into a magic spells fight.
What happens in the Philippines hardly matters at this stage, the emergency is in the Philippines right! What barriers the Philippines government have implemented against maids is hardly the fault of the employer.
Or lets put it another way, by the time SMS and others figure it out, the emergency is over
Do you really believe an experienced maid isn't aware of the risks,
Anyway lets hope that she is already in the Philippines while you all run around with excuses why it's not safe for her to return
I'm sure you have helped her make her own mind up, that's for sure.
And Nakatago lets be truthful, if you had an emergency back in the Philippines how are you going to deal with it immediately not next week? Advise the woman instead of trying to rumble what i say.
Though it does appear the OP is trying to circumvent the agency to do the contract with the embassy, it doesn't stop the maid returning in an emergency.
If the OP wants to employ her with the embassy contract, there is still no reason why it cannot be done, after she has left to attend the emergency if it means following the protocol so what! Isn't the priority the emergency here.
