There are salient details of Singaporean domestic labor and care work I'll never forget, but...

The major conflict is entirely resolved by a wealthy liberal pulling a few strings; the entire power structure just rolls over to make way for the happy ending she sets into motion. It's very goofy, and trivializes the class conflict the rest of the novel described.
