How big an impact does your helper have on your life?

MARK.HANRAHAN, As no one has replied to you using this forum let me kick this off by saying most expats here have no family support in town ie parents, grandparents, siblings etc. For many who have kids a FDH therefore becomes more important, and in some cases a necessity especially if both parents work (taking kids to school or picking them up, looking after them during school hols etc). I should add that in my experience HK employers are less flexible than those in US/Europe/Aus when it comes to working arrangements being made to accommodate employees with kids.

My posting name will give some insight to my nature, but why do you use a gmail account rather than one from the IBT?

Might be fake. Need verification.

Far from fake asixdreamy

Read already and this.guy has no response and not using company email. Check by yourself.

Could it be using the same name ? Think

Also somewhat limited reporting, not many views from either employees, employers, NGO or FDH governments ie not a very well researched article, below PhD level for sure, typical MSM.

Let me get this straight. Because this journalist does not use some type of "professional" email you have written him off as a fake? This is written for international business for heaven's sake. it is not some sort of in depth analysis of the current deplorable way domestic helpers are treated around the world. You are too critical. Get over yourselves.....unless you are fake and just want to cause trouble by posting accusations

The article is "really" posted. But how can you judge the relevance of other things out of the article? Currently even the public authorities reiterated that someone would "role play" by dailing to innocent residents here. Publication and education are reinforced recently and many other genuine news articles with traceable sources had reported such new type of deception modus operandi. We talk factual and raise inquiry to alert real expat reading here and would like to talk for the benefit of all readers here rather than protecting one-sided / minority of readers. A responsible "Watcher "should look broadly rather than only caring for welfare issue for one side

Too many critics on here and judge a person before they no the truth i agree with hkwatcher
