Agreed.
Originally posted by Bikeforceful:A 17-year-old maid has been found to have suffered three months of abuse, allegedly at the hands of her employers.
According to Lianhe Wanbao, the maid had arrived from Myanmar on 24 November last year and was sent to a household in Tampines where she was to take care of her employer’s husband, who suffered a stroke.
However, that began her ordeal, where she was supposedly allowed to sleep only less than four hours a day.
Her employer’s family had allegedly abused her repeatedly, including stabbing her arms with scissors, beating her with clothes hangers, scratching her face with fingernails, and biting her on the arms, leaving teeth marks.
She was also allegedly kicked until her legs were so swollen she could barely walk, and hit on her head with hard objects, including a mug.
She also claimed to have been punched on her face, resulting in a nose bleed, which her employer blame on her ‘poor health’.
Her employer had also allegedly broken the last finger on her left hand, and stripped her to take nude photos of her.
Because she was allowed to sleep only less than four hours a day, she fell asleep in the toilet once and got caught by her employer.
Deciding that she was sleeping on her job, her employer had allegedly poured boiling water on her back.
The maid suffered a blistered back but she did not get to see a doctor, nor apply any medicine.
On top of all these, the maid’s employer allegedly never allowed her to go out alone, or to speak to anyone.
The maid was also allegedly warned not to tell anyone about the abuse.
Her employer had allegedly threatened her by saying that they will hire a killer to murder the maid’s entire family should she talk to anyone about her ordeal.
The abuse was found out by chance on 22 Feb, when the maid was hanging laundry in the kitchen.
She had waved to a neighbour thinking the man was her employer’s son-in-law.
Seeing the maid waving and thinking she was crying out for help, the neighbour alerted the police.
The police called at the maid’s unit and found her covered in injuries.
In fear, the maid had initially told the police that she had caused the injuries herself. But when pressed, she revealed the ordeal she had gone through in the past three months.
Lianhe Wanbao reporters paid a visit to the flat in Tampines and spoke to the family living there, but the household denied having hired a maid.
A neighbour, however, confirmed that the household indeed had a maid until last month.
Police are currently investigating the case.
It is time caning and time in jail be made mandatory for employers who physically abuse their maid . This should be applicable even to employers who are women, because most of these maid abusers are women! Cane them!

Why can't females who behave like brutes and inflict harm on other human beings be caned? They should be given the same type of heavy caning if they are guilty of inflicting physical harm brutality on others. FINES or jail term as a penalty does not work. One must realise that in Singapore , some of those who are employers do not deserve employing maids( other than the fact they have the money to pay) and what is worse they have this feeling that having paid for a maid , the maid is their slave. If they are in a bad mood over other matters they will also take it out on the maid. It is time such brute females BE CANED!
This has got nothing to do with equal rights, men and women are biologically different.
If women are caned, damage to the reproductive organs may be caused and they might never be able to have children again.

Most maid have fake age..
Most or all maid abusers have 'mental' problems,caning them does not make sense.
they r the worst type esp those auntie bosses,me taxi driver always gets verbally abused by them!when they board my taxi,i usually keep quiet,or else they will start their rants either u take longer or wrong routes or u drive very slow or very recklessly!
Right reply, wrong thread.
Latest case,a Malay women sentenced to 'only' 13 months of Jail.
What i don't get is..how come whenever i read about maid being abused..the abuser is always the 'Mdm', 'mom', female boss. What does this say about the mentality of these people...
SG human rights record will be tarnished if cane woMEN
