My domestic helper is always like this, I think I have asked her to give me a response more than 30 times la. Sometimes, I can't stand her then I will ask her to stop her work and focus on what I am talking to her and give me a response.
Last time cos she dun want to give a response and I ask her to give me a feedback, if not then she will stop her work and face me until she gives me a response. And she said she can't give me a response as simple as "yes ma'am" and said to me if I am unhappy with her attitude, I can just "fry" her. Really make me sick.
