Maid hit over milk powder

By Elena Chong

 

 

AN INDONESIAN maid who was allegedly abused by three members of a household told a district court on Monday that her employer punched and slapped her for taking milk powder and his toothpaste.

Ms Susilawati Kusnata, 26, was hungry and took the milk powder but before she could eat it, her employer's mother-in-law, Teng Chen Lian, 67, found out.

 

When her boss, Stanley Kuah Kian Chong, a bank executive, was told about it when he returned home that evening on July 4 last year, he punched her on the forehead and slapped her a few times.

 

Ms Susilawati said she lost 15kg during her four-month employment with the family at Pasir Ris.

 

By the time she ran away from the flat on July 5 last year by climbing out of the fifth-floor kitchen window, she weighed 38kg.

 

Kuah, his wife, Looi Phooi Ling, 37, and Teng are on trial for abusing her between April and July 5. They face a total of 41 charges.

 

The maid, who is not working now, testified that Looi had beaten her with hangers and a piece of wood.

 

Once, Looi used a sponge to rub her face and she cried. She said Looi also used a wok cleaner to rub her lips so that she would not fall asleep while washing the plates.

 

The court heard that when she first started working for the family, she had between six and seven hours of sleep, but after a month, she had to wake up at 3am as she had a lot of work to do.

 

The trial continues.

If send to Changi would be wasting taxpayers' $$$, better send to IMH.

Thanks to her employer and her family members.

They will go to Changi Holidays camp and she may live happily in her hometown with a large sum of compensation for the tortoure during her stay in Singapore.

 

very lucky for this maid. She dont have to work for the next few year.

[Kingcopa]

Sadly this is the mentality of some Singaporeans.

[Testa_ross4]

The guy looks like a B*sta*d. The wife is uglllyyyy.

[David]

What if they play voodoo on their employers? Ahhhhhhhhhhh.....better be dead.

[Help1]

this is called "wu lui teh si lang"...hope they get whacked by the ppl in changi...it seems that many ppl think that by having a maid is like a class above all ppl (including families with no maid), they only look what is above the clouds and not below it...should recommend canning and jailed to those maid abusers and not just fine since these ppl can afford maid service.

[Mzrmazda3]

Some people really think that a maid is a slave ...

The guy and wife very 'si wen' look. But is a devil advocate They should be given a stern sentence..Maid are also human. Why must they do this kind of sadist things
