She said that her maid orders clothes from Chinese wholesalers and then sells them to other helpers in Singapore at a marked-up price. “She is very nice hard-working woman, and so far this additional business of hers did not affect her job. I am only worried about her doing that because as per law she cannot have any other job, isn’t it?” the woman asked. She said that should her maid get caught, she was not sure it would end well for the helper.
If convicted of breaching this, a worker can be fined up to S$20,000 or jailed for two years or both. Her work permit will be revoked, after which she will be sent home and barred from working in Singapore.
