JOHOR BARU: A Filipino maid refused to work and started crying, forcing her employer to send her back to the employment agency after only five days.

Businessman Irwadi Ibrahim, 42, said he and his wife Syareena Ali, 38, had gone to Kuala Lumpur on May 13 to fetch the 33-year old maid and bring her to work at their house in Pasir Gudang.
