The domestic staff will in general consist of a houseboy (in large establishments two houseboys), a water carrier (''tukang ayer''), whose duties include washing dishes and preparing baths, a cook, a gardener, a chauffeur or ''sais'', and perhaps an ''ayah'' (if Chinese, ''amah'') or two, according to the size of the family.
