A Kuwaiti social media celebrity has come under fire after she hit back at new rules intended to protect Filipino workers. A video of her tirade - where she questioned the government's reforms has gone viral.
According to CNN, Sondos Al Qattan criticised the reforms affecting Filipino domestic workers in Kuwait. The changes guarantee rights to the workers and are seen by many as a step in the right direction. Al Qattan is one of the few who did not accept the changes.
"For people who want to hire a Filipino domestic worker, what are these ridiculous work contracts you've got to sign? The woman I met with was reading out the rules to me and I was just shocked. Put aside that they need to be given a break every five hours, that's normal. But, how can you have a 'servant' in your house who gets to keep their passport with them? Where are we living? If they ran away and went back to their country, who will refund me?," she can be heard saying in the video.
Apart from questioning the new rules, she also objected to the rule that grants Filipino workers a day off per week.

What's left? Honestly, with this new contract, I just wouldn't 'get' a Filipino 'maid.' She would only work six days a week and get four days off a month," she added.
