I think the govt is really thinking with their 'pat pat'. They can just tell everyone to stop paying for 2 years. Instead, they chose to flood themselves with paperwork of early-renew contracts and they lose 47 months of payment instead of 24 months.
Why do they make a simple thing so complicated? We have to do a lot of paperwork, so do they. Why not just tell all with notices to pay stop paying for 2 years.
It was anounced on the news start 1st Aug, and they allow employers to terminate the existing contract and renew.
What I want to know is if my contract is July and my maid don't get her visa until August will I still need to pay?
