Jackie Cheung turns to Indonesians for help

Written By Allan Smith

I'll be very interested to see how this turns out.

HONG KONG--Spurned by the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (Polo), Canto-pop star Jacky Cheung and his wife, retired actress Mei Lo, have turned to Indonesians for help. The couple, which has been banned from hiring Filipino helpers due to a record of frequently firing maids or causing them to resign, has asked recruitment agencies to find Indonesian domestic workers to replace the Filipinos who have left their household. Lo mentioned the resignation of the four Filipino maids during the actress' meeting with Philippine consulate officials in September. Cheung himself confirmed the resignation of his maids after learning that the couple had been placed on the Polo's watch list. "We don't know why, they (maids) just resigned voluntarily," Assistant labor attaché Leonida Romulo told Hong Kong News. The Polo had not been contacted by any of the helpers who recently quit."
