Jacky CheungHong Kong pop singer Jacky Cheung lashed out at claims he fired 21 Filipino maids in three years, saying he was an ordinary employer.” The popular crooner, already banned from hiring helpers from the Philippines for a year by the Philippine consulate, said he could not remember how many maids he and his wife had hired and fired over the years, the South China Morning Post reported. I consider myself an ordinary employer. Many of my friends terminate their maids contracts and I believe it is normal in any employment, he was quoted as saying from the eastern Chinese province of Zhejing, where he was in a concert tour. An employer can fire an employee if he or she fails to perform, whilst an employee can also resign if he or she is not happy about the employer. Is there anything wrong if we fire a maid when we find out that she is not helpful? Cheung asked.

He has been dubbed the Terminator by domestic workers. Some of them resigned on their first day after seeing there were too many stairs at the four-story luxury home he shares with his wife and two young daughters.

The Philippine consulate said Thursday that it has placed Cheung and his wife, a former actress, on its banned list of substandard employers for one year. Cheung said his four latest maids all resigned after they found out he had been blacklisted a few weeks ago.
