Woman who hit maid for not hand-washing children's clothes gets three weeks' jail
SINGAPORE - A woman assaulted her maid for not hand-washing her children's clothes as instructed but using the washing machine instead.
Ho Mei Li, 28, who sells phone accessories, hit 36-year-old Indonesian Neni Lestari and stamped on her at a flat in Marsiling Drive on July 6 last year.
On Friday, Ho broke down in tears when District Judge Toh Yung Cheong sentenced her to three weeks' jail.
The court heard that the single mother who had returned to her flat drunk at about 7am that day flew into a rage when she found out that the maid had not done as told.
She hit the victim and stamped her on her chest several times as she was lying down. Fearing for her life, the maid fled when Ho locked herself in her bedroom along with the victim's personal belongings.
With the help of a passer-by, the victim proceeded to her maid agency and filed a police report. The maid suffered multiple contusions.
Ho had told the court earlier that she had had too much to drink and had also had an altercation with the maid earlier. The maid had told that she wanted to go back to her agent.
Pleading for leniency, Ho said she had no intention of hurting the maid severely and that she needed to take care of her two children, aged eight and three.
In passing sentence, Judge Toh said she had only been charged with a single incidence of violence and that to her good fortune the injuries were not serious, he said.
"Nevertheless, maid abuse is a very serious matter because the maid is in your flat, and in many ways, depends on you to provide her housing and food while she carries out her work," he said.
A second charge of pointing two knives at the maid was considered during her sentencing. She could have been jailed for up to three years and/or fined $7,500 for maid abuse.
Holy shit, her age and those of her children match exactly, plus they reside in Woodlands. It's rather odd she had her first child when she was only 20, not to mention doing so out of wedlock - perhaps Miss Ho ain't as angelic as the eulogy made her out to be.
The really kind-hearted and generous people are the ones who too often depart too early, yet the black-hearted and devious ones get to live till a ripe age - 天理何在?
It wasn't mentioned in the post shared by TS, but I'd reckon so. Can't be due to terminal illness or something like that, since she passed away because of an "unfortunate incident" that happened on a particular morning.
Sinkie working as GrabFood delivery rider received zero orders in a 3-hour span, song boh?

What happened to her? Was she involved in a traffic accident?
Gone too soon, may she RIP.
