You know, when I was living in Singapore, the singaporeans that I know, they don't let their maids to have any contacts with other maids. As they usually don't have day off, so they don't even let their maids to talk to others. They are very very strict to their maids. I guess it is because government is very strict to the people, so their people are also very strick to their maids too.
