Maid Told to Wait in Singapore Carpark While Club Hosts Dinner – Shocking Allegations of Misconduct

When A Maid Was Boo‑Cooled at the Singapore Cricket Club

  • The drama began at a Saturday night dinner that went horribly wrong for a domestic helper named Mary, sparking a heated debate about nightclub rules in Singapore’s elite private clubs.*
  • The Incident

  • Fri, Nov 23 – Friends, family, and a lovely maid named Mary double‑dipped into the venerable Singapore Cricket Club for dinner.
  • A gentleman on the wait‑list, comedian‑turned‑free‑lancer Nicholas Bloodworth (33), posted the story on Facebook the following Monday.
  • Staff flicked a line, “Maids aren’t allowed here.” and, to Bloodworth’s horror, advised that Mary sit in the car‑park.
  • “I’ll know if she’s a maid,” the staff claimed, “no family members allowed.”Bloodworth tried to charm the official, even offering to sign Mary in as a guest. The club stubbornly denied the request.

  • Bloodworth’s Take

    “If you set this rule, you should plaster it on every webpage, dude!”He swore that “good old‑timey discrimination” sat at the heart of the club’s policy.He’s not calling for a boycott; he just wants the club’s policy to be transparent and clear.The result: he vowed never to set foot in SCC again.

  • Club Rules on Domestic Helpers

    Club Rule How Strict?
    Singapore Cricket Club “No domestic help or chauffeurs allowed.” Very strict; no exceptions.
    The Tanglin Club Same statement. Strict.
    The British Club “Not allowed unless at a club‑organised function.” Moderate.
    Hollandse Club Allowed only with members during special events or for child‑classes. Lenient.
    American Club Requires a member signature; exceptions only under special circumstances. Likely strict.
    China Club Singapore No rule to ban homes. Open.
  • Policymakers say it’s all about maintaining privacy and keeping the area from getting overcrowded. Some members simply feel uneasy around domestic helpers.*
  • How Fans Reacted

  • * Some called the staff’s action a discrimination and demanded the club show better tolerance.
  • Others defended SCC, citing the club’s by‑laws as the foundation for their decision.
  • The debate turned into a social media storm, with many questioning whether the rules should be communicated “upfront” or if no‑maid policy feels archaic in today’s modern society.
  • Closing Thoughts

    A simple dinner and a firm rule turned into a call for transparency and re‑evaluation of clubs’ policies on domestic helpers. While some members cling to outdated conventions, others push for inclusive, clearer guidelines that allow everyone—maids included—to feel welcomed where they belong.
    The takeaway?• Rules may exist, but if they’re buried in legal jargon and not served on the club’s homepage, the message is lost.• Comfort does not mean exclusion.• Clubs might want to rethink the approach or at least pace the message so it doesn’t make someone feel like a poisoned guest.

  • Who votes down the no‑maid policy?*
