The recent news about the brutally abused domestic helper from Indonesia is really shocking to me. It is not the first incident whereby maids are being treated poorly by their employers, as though they do not worth a shit, but come on, this is being allowed to go on for way too long!
To the employers, why are the lives and well-being of the domestic helpers any different from those of your own children?! Is it because they are from another developing country? Is it because they look different from you? Is it because of the nature of their job, which is seemingly less glorious than yours? Or is it merely because of their job title?
Domestic helpers are also human-beings. Just like anyone else, they deserve the same treatment from their employers. All this news about mistreating domestic helpers only goes to show how lowly inhumane the Hong Kong population is.
*edit*
Well, I do realize that that is an over-generalization and an exaggeration. Most of the people here are nice. Only a fraction of them are imbeciles, and imbeciles exist everywhere. The most important thing is to really give these imbeciles a lesson. Perhaps, give them a taste of their own treatment?
