This is so bad everyone should have their right to leave and should always keep their passport with them
Tika Nguyen
Do not go to the middle East people. They are devils in disguised. That monster of a woman ain’t pretty she just look that way.
Tika Nguyen
Tuna Not all.of course not. Their ideology need to change. Their government,laws,and regulations need to change.until there is peace and equality in the middle east,why on earth would anyone put their lives in jeopardy?
Tun.
Tika Nguyen thats very true.. It does sound very bad

How can you make that statement? Do you know all of us? This woman was absolutely wrong. Clearly a brat with absolutely no value for other human lives. She does NOT represent the Middle Eastern people.

I’ve been in the middle East and based of my experience 99 percent of the population are all horrible people

This is not just the mindset or opinion of a single woman in a single Gulf country. As someone who has lived in a Gulf country for 10 years, I can tell you this is the mainstream way of thinking. This condescending, in your face, entitled belief that those who work for you are not employees trading their skillset and labor for money. They are of the belief that those who come to their countries come to “serve” them, and if they are nice and lucky, the Saudis, Kuwaitis, Qataris, or Emiratis will give them spare change. To reiterate, the concept of compensation for work doesn’t exist in their dictionary. The concept of “why should I give these people the money that I have so they can save it or worse yet send it abroad to help their families?” is. Once you have a grasp on this vile mindset, you can understand why these people, no matter how much money the have, are far from class or civility.
This belief that employees working for them are their property is not just limited to the maid industry. It is in fact much more pervasive that it affects most other industries. It reaches as far the skill ladder as the healthcare or engineering industry, where the “sponsor” program (kafeel) also exists. For those that do not know, no non-Saudi or non-Gulf citizen can work in their country without a kafeel, and the kafeel can be a person or an entity like the Department of Health or the Department of the Interior. The kafeel is widely expected, if the worker is a foreigner from a weaker country (not the US or Europe), to keep that worker’s passport and not give it to the worker. The kafeel is also either unsupervised or not adequately supervised, and is expected to “compensate” the workers through a code of honor, except that there is no code of honor among most of these societies, only a code of “I have more money than you and you work for me so I get to exploit you.” Widespread is the withholding of many employee passports and even salaries, and even more widespread is employee healthcare neglect. My father is a physician and has seen many maids who have been left to wither from tuberculosis, and when my father tells the “kafeel” that their maid is sick with tuberculosis (or some other treatable disease) and needs urgent treatment, their response is usually “I am not paying for that. I will just send that maid or worker back to their country, even while they are ill and cannot safely board a flight.”
But back to the issue of passport withholding, it is in fact illegal in many countries to hold the passport of an employee as a way of insuring they “do not leave.” This is because this document is the holder’s own document, and is a foreign document issued by the holder’s own country and thus no foreign entity or person should use it to withhold the liberty of the person to which the passport belongs. No reason is strong enough to keep the passport from its owner, because those that sought employment with you are bound by contract and thus by law to work for you. If they are unhappy, they can and should notify you with enough time of their decision to quit.
Yet, these countries, secondary to their money, always get a pass when the west implements sanctions against human rights violators. Countries with no strong government like Somalia, Afghanistan, Niger, Nigeria, or Iraq at least have an excuse, albeit a lousy one, for why there are human abuses (the rule of law is lacking or severely deficient). But these Gulf states have no excuses other than a significant portion of them being ruthless psychopaths, from their princes to their commoners.
Tun.
ehabs07 wow.. I honestly didnt know any of this. I wish we heard more about this in the U.S…
Tun.
ehabs07 how come they arent on the travel bans.. I though it went to all arab/Muslim countries & north korea for some reason.. Idk tRump is crazy
Jiji
ehabs07 Yikes. You used the same word I’ve been thinking about. Psychopath. Can you just imagine living in a house of an employer who could be one and you’d have no way of getting out when necessary? It’s really dangerous.

Beauty with nonsense humanity value!! Poor woman!
CulinaryGuide
Not surprised. The slave trade began in the middle east.
latesukiyaki
CulinaryGuide yeah it was started by the Israelites and until now they still expect that the goyim will all be their slaves when their messiah comes.
It’s not the culture that promotes slavery but the greed for money and the feeling of entitlement.
There are millions of slaves in the US and Europe, you don’t see them because they hide them and the masters are not stupid enough to display their slaves.
k5lta
CulinaryGuide Yep
Ian d
CulinaryGuide hey dont go there. Im a filipino dont label all kuwaitis that. She doesnt represent all kuwaitis. Its just a bad person with a twisted notion
VisualAddict
Ian d it’s fact though. Read about history. It may not be all Kuwaitis but there’s no doubt that modern slavery still exist in the mid east. Heck, even UAE was built on slavery.
Rowena Mariano
If you treat your employee the right way they won’t run away.
maya bones
Rowena Mariano agreed that much went…

Mr Peculiarrr Thank you for appreciating Filipino traits. ☺☺☺

Exactly!
Orion The Constellation
This is what happens when one’s financial standing and power disproportionately overtakes one’s level of humanity and education. I think people from these regions are so much in need of updating themselves with current global standards of respect for their fellow human beings and human welfare. It’s plain and simple, if you cannot comply with the requirements of your employees to meet their minimum standards of human dignity, then look somewhere else. And yes, just because you employ someone, doesn’t mean you own them like your personal posessions. Some personal liberties cannot and should not be bought by money. They are simply beyond the commerce of man. It is a great human tragedy that despite advancements in science and technology, some people are so left behind in their human evolution.
Chef Bob Valentine
Orion The Constellation agree
Marky Ivan Gabriel
Orion The Constellation she doesn’t have any education at all because educated people don’t talk like that and they think before they post or click
VisualAddict
Marky Ivan Gabriel even educated people look down on others. One doesn’t need to be educated to understand that people deserve to be treated fairly. Sadly, the majority of humans are garbage.
Nelie D
Now if only, the indian and bangladeshi governments demand the same rights for their people in qatar…
ji Soon Yan
Nelie D true i mean all country who are sending workers abroad should come together and create this movement to protect their rights
pretty ugly much
True. The Philippines is just so lucky now that its president is strong willed and he cares for the workers abroad.
Jules Bar
All nationalty should be allowed to hold there passport and a day off.
The Truth
All nationalities in all countries should be allowed to hold their own passports. Of course, its theirs. I would never, never, never ever surrender my passport at anytime, anywhere to anyone. NEVER. I would turn around and board the next flight back to Canada in a blink of an eye, no second thought, bye. I would rather have lost ALL MY MONEY, then to lose my passport. NEVER SURRENDER YOUR PASSPORT, its your lifeline back home, even if you don’t have money.
Mills J
The Philippine gov’t are fighting for the rights of their people and I salute their president for being a tough leader.

Zennonick
Not all Kuwaiti Nationals are bad liked her. She is a shame to the country.
hubbi hayii
Zenju Show me one Arab person who is not a racist? The only people you guys you worship are white people.
The Truth
Its systemic. This treatment of foreign people is built into how the society works. There are work groups of foreigners who sit a designated corner of the town waiting/hoping for for work. So why is it only a particular race? They are treated horrendously. To live a life like those workers, the worker would be better off to be a dog, a cat or some kind of animal though, in truth, it is the employer who is the true animal … a savage to be more accurate.
Ricca Shaps
Zenju Not all but with all the other horror stories that I have heard, I am sure that this is mainstream thinking.
Tun.
Zenju i honest wouldn’t know.. But yeah she’s horrible. She’s the example of ‘what not to be”
Samurai ROB
you’re right just 80% of the population
Rover Lights
why would they run away when they come there to work in the first place? you dont know how much these people sacrifice being away from their families not to see their children as they grow and not being able to guide them and sharing happy moments w them just because they have to earn for their future.they have to endure all the pain and loneliness being far and thats how you want to treat them? do u know how many filipino workers fly back to the philippines dead in coffins because of people like you who are abusive.they are being slapped kicked not fed working extra time without pay molested raped ironed bathed with boiling water? they would not run from you if you would treat them right. filipinos are such strong resilient people they can let it pass if u done them wrong once or twice but if you abuse them to the extreme thats the time they would run from you
screen box
Rover Lights the ran away for certwin reasons. 1st- abuse (sexual, emotional, physical)
2nd- death threat by employer
3rd- they are humans and need a rest day.working without a day off in a year is brutal psychologically.
Uno Kram
Rover Lights middle east country are a heartless

Her comments towards Filipino Domestic helper is such a rubbish and disgusting, maybe thats how it works when the only thing you have is beauty and money. Intelligent and kindness really cant buy!
Cody J
She is not beautiful. Only her eyes are her gems, other than that she has fats all over her face. How come she is a beauty blogger? She doesn’t represent beauty both inner and physical. She deserves the losing of sponsorships.
Joe Al
What do you deserve coward? And you’re not beautiful either … so ugly you look like a turd
Uno Kram
Tom Gonzales real beauty comes from within… Shes ugly. Heartless. She treat filipinos a slave. They deserve rest.

max alvarado
So the saying to never judge a book by it’s cover is very true! She is beautiful, indeed! But like a tempting and luscious apple, worms maybe be feasting inside. It is only with heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye ( The Little Prince).
