They're too dependent on their domestic "helpers."

@Crazywaterspring I think that's very slowly changing. People are wizening up to the fact its indentured servitude. The majority of them get paid under $400 USD and are expected to cook and clean do laundry and ironing, look after children and look after the grandparents. These girls often lie about their age so they are sometimes 15-16 years old and on top of that some face abuse, mortal abuse.
It's barbaric and has to go. I'm proud of Singapore in a lot of ways but there are some ways it really lets me down.
