Poor unfortunate maid made the silly mistake of walking in from of said child....Nasty girl slammed the poor maid in the stomach several times and made motions to the maid to walk behind. Gawd I could not help myself and I was shocked into loudy telling the girl child she was a horrible disgusting child and she should be ashamed of her actions. Snooty grandmother just stood there like stone.
My husband then told me I had probably made things worse for the poor maid. Seems they were visiting people here at the
condo as I found out after trying to get info so I could report them to MOM. Bugga.....I still wonder about the poor maid
The local Chinese has this mentality "See No Evil, Touch No Evil" I do not say all of them but majority of them.
For a child to do that, the parents or elders must have done it in front of the child hence the child imitates it. Knowing full well that it is alright and the child will not be punish. I blame the parents for the child behaviour

Yeah Ex-pat, nice thoughts but you might as well start a campaign 'Be nice to your slave'.

You all must have seen the pictures that's doing the rounds of a NSman in uniform being followed by a maid carrying service backpack!

or contribution to TWC2 or Home is welcome ..
With only a few hundred IPCs, we need a few more VVOs so you can get totally scared to step out on Saturdays as every saturday is a flag day for VVOs ..
PS: I do pay my time with my chosen VVO in case somebody jumps at me ..

In the Philippines you can do that, unfortunately not here.
