Singapore domestic helpers retire after years of service abroad

An Indonesian domestic helper who has worked in Singapore for eight years explained in a street interview that she stayed for the higher wages, bought land and built two houses back home, and plans to retire next year to care for her family. The interview, posted by maid‑agency 114 Maids, highlighted her practical goals and the affection she receives from netizens.

A Philippine domestic helper, employed by the same household for more than three decades, cared for the family through a terminal illness and other hardships. As she prepares to return to the Philippines, the employer’s daughter posted on Reddit seeking ideas for a lasting retirement gift that would honor the helper’s long‑term dedication and support her future financial stability.
