Anyone know what the monthly fee of 135 pounds is all about?

Wow. Reading that article makes the working conditions for a DH in Hong Kong seem like heaven. It just shows how easily people's senses of entitlement can balloon according to their current situation.
It's better than the Indonesian DH in Saudi who was beheaded last month for killing her employer.
Apparently in Saudi Arabia there are around 20 DH's on death row for some reason or another. That's out of the million or so foreign workers there.
Edit: this thread could get out of hand pretty quickly..........

Australia banned cow exports because of mistreatment, seems the maids are worth less. Now that will stir it up.
wow didn't know about Singapore.
so out of hk, sg, Saudi arabia which is the preferred destination for DH?
Does sg and Saudi pay more?
Wow... That's really horrible. I feel so bad for them.
Well, if I were treated like that I would probably kill them, too:
Indonesia urges Saudi justice in maid's abuse case
Saudi couple "hammer 24 nails" into Sri Lankan maid
I was about to post something on this. Yes, alot worse treatment than many can handle.
Indonesia has now banned DH's to Saudi Arabia.
Looks like Saudi Arabia has now banned foreign workers from both Indonesia and the Philippines. Saudi Arabia bans maids from Indonesia and the Philippines
That affects roughly 2.3 million Indo/Phils workers and a little over $2.45 billion US per annum worth of remittances which both nations ( gov ) heavily depend on.
