‘No domestic helpers allowed’ sign at Hong Kong private club called discriminatory
Ban on domestic helpers entering a pool area at Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club prompts criticism online, while migrant workers’ group says it is a long-standing issue across the city
The sign erected at the Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club states: “No Domestic Helpers Allowed In The Swimming Pool Area”.
Hong Kong should love its foreign domestic helpers, so they will love Hong Kong
“Clearly racist … someone should report this,” wrote one person.
“Come on HK, we are not living in the past. We are global people and we should not allow this centuries old practise to occupy our minds. We should set good examples to our next generation by respecting each other no matter what’s your status in life. Peace to all!” another wrote.
“Pretty shameful indeed. Was shocked when I saw it the first time. Helpers aren’t allowed in the pool area at all. Even sitting on the lounge chairs. It’s absurd,” wrote a third.
