Its too close to slavery for my liking. Yes they are paid but 2.5k per month is very low for Singapore, they work massive hours, they rely on you for shelter, and are very likely from much poorer neighbouring countries that are trying to support family back home.

The whole power dynamic is extremely exploitable which results in a lot of abuse cases.

They would be much worse off if they stay in their own country and they even get 1 day rest per week.

		Yes exactly, which is why the system is so ripe for abuse. A third of live in maids in Singapore report abuse by the employers. I don't consider taking someone out of a shit situation into a slightly less shit situation for your huge benefit all that benevolent personally. The way you talk about them its like they lesser to you. They are just "good value" and "even have 1 day off a week".
