Why is it bizarre and inhuman?

A maid working in Singapore will earn 3-4x what she will make in Indonesia with generally better working conditions.

In addition because expenses are minimal (food+accommodation provided) you can save in 3-5 years what a typical lower class family living in Indonesia will save over 20.
