Wouldn't you rather allow HK's lowest paid local workers the ability to be able to save $3580.00 per month ? You know the ones, they serve you at the bars, restaurants and cafes etc who earn $8000 per month and out of that have to manage paying for a roof over their heads, clothing, food, commuting costs etc, literally living a pay cheque to pay cheque existence.
While the domestic helpers get a roof over their head, all of their food, utility costs and so on provided, while being able to save 36,000HKD per annum....If you want to spit venom at anybody, maybe you should focus on the Philippines/Indonesian governments and ask them to explain why, that in the 21st century that they cant provide their people with first world wages, so the majority of people don't have to work abroad to feed their family. If that's your issue...
In my opinion there are more worthy needy ( local citizens of this city ) that really are doing it tough, than the domestic helpers that came here to work on their own free will.
Seriously, aim your vented spleen at the govts that get fat off this situation, their GDP breakdown spells a pretty clear picture of how they financially survive, all off the backs of exported, low paid workers, while the members of these governments sit back and eat cake... These helpers seem to be able to own their own homes back in the Philippines also, because while the wife might be working here, the husband could be in Saudi Arabia or Dubai also earning OS income, while their children are being looked after by family that they support. That's around 50 - 70K saved each year combined....
