ABUSE!!!

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Something on the news caught my attention. For once, I pitied the maids. Really, can their 'mdm' and 'sir' be sued? Felt like it is such an abuse.

The third phase of the primary school registration will be on this thursday. As usual, the well-known schools are really 'hunted' by parents. Perhaps I was from a neighbourhood primary school and thought that my parents had already gone through enough trouble to get me there that is why I think some parents are overboard.

Imagine this.
There are only 10 or even less than 10 vacancies left in the school.
Yet there is a queue of people outside the school 3days before the thursday.
With even the current weather of unpredicted showers, storms and scotching, scalding heat.
Tents pitched (literally). Cardboards. Just outside the school compound, next to the fence.
For a moment one may think, "Wow, these parents are really so ks!" or "What self-less parents are they, to queue for their children's future!"
Next moment, a filipino maid emerged from the tent.
She said, "Queue for mdm's son. What to do?"
She was one of the many.

I couldn't help but exclaimed this in front of my family, "Abuse!!!" I'm not usually the 'human-right' type of person but seeing that on the news was really like, "Are these kids the filipino? Where are their parents? If it's really for your child can't one of the parents do the honour instead? Is that the legal, to make your maid do that days of queueing?" I just find it so-not-right. It is E-V-I-L. Now whoever thinks I'm mean and evil, think again.

ABUSE!!!
