In a post to Facebook group FDW in Singapore (working conditions forum), a helper by the name of Lucy Damayanti wrote that since her employer was shifting houses, and would live in a service apartment for a while until they left Singapore, she would be temporarily staying at her employer’s friend’s house.

After her employer leaves Singapore, Ms Damayanti wrote that she would then be transferred to her employer’s friend, as the latter’s current helper was leaving Singapore as well. She added that her work permit was still under her current employer’s name, as they had not yet left Singapore. “but if my employer needs my help I have to come and help them ( that’s mean I have to work for 2 place[s])”, Ms Damayanti wrote, asking if this practice was allowed.
