Domestic Helper Who Went into Canal Says: ‘I did it for my Elderly Employer’s Sake’
A maid in the middle of a furore over cleaning a canal drain has spoken up for her employers, who she says she treats as her parents.
The Filipina, who wanted to be known as Ms San, had been earlier quoted as saying she was told to clean the canal because she had “nothing to do” after completing her household chores.
On seeing online pictures of her in the canal, some netizens immediately assumed she had been treated badly.
Ms San wants concerned individuals to know that it was just a one-off incident. She said she is well-treated, gets a day off on Sundays and has plenty of welfare from her employers.
