Her passports with us
My mans just admitted to Human Trafficking on reddit.
From the comments:
I can. Just look at this thread. There's dozens of people defending the practice, and tons more upvoting them. Saying that any dissenters are "just foreigners who don't understand Singaporean culture". Newsflash: You don't get to claim slavery as "just part of your culture" and be shielded from criticism.
Glaring right the fuck at the United States prison system :guts-rage:
i mean, being a white supremacist police state is part of our culture
Hey now, that's not fair. The US has produced some genuinely great music.
i meant white american culture. doesn't seem right to give the dominant culture credit for things oppressed people create when subject to it.
Reading those comments has taught me that Singapore delenda est.
Both Dubai and Singapore are popular with white PMCs because they can reminisce about the good old days of colonial slavery
Singapore is a model colony who traded their old imperial master for international capitalism.
We employed a helper
hasn't paid 50% of what she owes
wtf, she's paying to be your slave?
They have nozick brain, they think anything goes so long as there's a signed contract.
wtf is up with Singapore, I know it's a capitalist hellhole, but I read so many stories of rich assholes abusing their domestic workers, similar to Gulf Monarchies.
Similar to gulf monarchies, migrant workers have zero rights, cant unionise in anyway and are subjected to the whim of their employers
Worst comment I’ve read on the internet today
Your inflated sense of self-righteousness is vastly disproportionate to your lack of ignorance. "According to a Straits Times article, maids coming to Singapore from the Philippines should be using only up to half of their monthly salary to repay a loan, up to an amount of $1,100. This covers her pre-employment expenses such as training and medical examination." https://dollarsandsense.sg/much-cost-hire-maid-singapore/#:~:text=Placement%20Fee%2FMaid%20Loan&text=According%20to%20a%20Straits%20Times,as%20training%20and%20medical%20examination. But they don’t get a salary for almost a year, right? That should answer your question. So now answer mine: would a fresh grad doctor paying off his loans be considered a slave? How about a pilot bonded to SIA? Please go learn what slavery actually is before throwing around accusations.
Yeah, I was just infuriated that he tried to claim that debt somehow makes it not slavery.
Yeah this is the comment they were replying to
But they don’t get a salary for almost a year, right? They owe both their agency and the family they work for. So they’re stuck as a slave until their debts are paid off. That’s totally messed up. You all need to own the fact that you’re just slave masters.
So now answer mine: would a fresh grad doctor paying off his loans be considered a slave? How about a pilot bonded to SIA?
Yes and yes.
"Oh! they're a highly paid slave that will earn a lot and be high status when they gain their freedom" DOESN'T MAKE THE SLAVERY OK!!
So now answer mine: would a fresh grad doctor paying off his loans be considered a slave?
No, because a doctor can get on a plane and leave, and the maid can't.
It seems like the F might be female actually they use MDW analogously in the thread.

Terrible shit going on in former anglo colony and current financial hub
:surprised-pika:
A lot of redditors twisting themselves into pretzels to say “akshually it’s not slavery, they were financially compensated :wojak-nooo:”
