Ranger jailed 10 weeks for maid abuse

SINGAPORE: A ranger at Sentosa caned his maid on the back of her legs last October simply because she had forgotten to lock a window.

 

About a week later, when 30-year-old Hamzah Abdullah noticed that the strap of his son's sandal was broken as the maid was helping the child put it on, he kicked her in the forehead before punching her once in the left eye.

 

The burly ranger also stepped on Ms Solikhatun Khasanah's back - and only stopped assaulting her when his wife shouted at him to stop.

 

Deputy Public Prosecutor Norman Yew said Ms Solikhatun suffered internal bleeding on her forehead and near her left eye following the incident.

 

Hamzah, who pleaded guilty to two counts of maid abuse Wednesday, was jailed for 10 weeks.

 

He could have been jailed up to three years and fined a maximum of S$7,500 for each charge.

 

District Judge Toh Yung Cheong also ordered him to pay S$1,500 compensation to the 29-year-old Indonesian maid.

 

Should he fail to do so, Hamzah, who was unrepresented, will have to spend an additional two weeks behind bars.
