FIRST the wife was charged with burning the maid with a hot metal spoon and abusing her on two other occasions.
On Thursday, Tang Leng Khuen, 43, was brought to court on a charge of hitting Indonesian maid Lilis Sriyatun on the back with a hanger and kicking her in the stomach.
The alleged offence took place at the couple's Sengkang flat in April 2009.
His wife, Soh Meiyun, 31, who is self-employed, was charged last month with using the heated substance to hurt the 25-year-old domestic worker on her left arm in May that year.
She also allegedly used a bamboo pole and hanger to hit her on the face and pinched her body, and on another occasion, scratched her body and hand with a needle. Her case is pending.
Tang, a software engineer, was represented by a lawyer, who asked for the case to be adjourned. He will appear in court on April 7.

Those bad family thought that hiring maid can do what they want.
The authority should give them a very heavy sentences.

Dun pass judgement so fast. Could be tat the maid is trying to frame the couple by inflicting all the injuries to herself. Mebbe the couple wanted to sack her for not doing her job so the maid take revenge.
I hear alot of bad story about maid taking revenge. One time my neighbour told us tat she caught her maid deliberately pissing into her daughter's water bottle. In another story, another fren told me how disobedient his made is - watch TV when nobody is around and so lazy until refuse to wash the dishes. Another story, a maid run away so she can work illegally at hawker center.
-
well, the wife alrdy charged. So high chance hisband and wife in cahoots.

I do heard alot of maid's stories too.
Especially when they are in groups, they tend to be sway towards be lazy and learn bad things from their friends.
I heard some maid from indonesia even have those toy as a black magic.
When hire maid, family must treat them as a human, give them enough rest and sleep and eat too. If not, they will turn against you and your children.

Haiz, more u give the maid, more they bully u. Those lazy ones neva learn. Last time my family hire one crazy maid - she wake up 4 am wif all the pails and mop, mop the whole house until 9am then go to bed. Make us canot sleep properly, because she so noisy banging all the pails and doing all the washing at 4 am. When we go to work, nobody at home, she go and take her nap lah, then after tat go watch TV. Canot stand her la, after tat let her go back to Indon. Scold her only but better dun touch her, afterward she purposely injure herself, take photo then goto Indon consulate n accuse u of attacking her.
Even worse when maid got boyfren. They sneak in their bf into their room in the middle of nite and have sex without yer knowledge.
I say best maid r the christian ones - normally they very well mannered and stay a long time. I know two frens wif christian maids, do very well wif the kids.
-
That is really bad especially the maid has a blangla bf.
-
why these people who hire maids like machiam bought slaves one?
-
maids are modern day slaves. And many freaking idiots have no idea of maids when growing up. When they suddenly get one, they think they are something, like a big boss. Actually they are stuck in their teeny weeny myopic world.
-
I am a 'maid' in my company.
As what my colleagues told me too.
