Upset with the way that her domestic worker had performed tasks such as hanging the laundry or cleaning bottles, a 67-year-old woman slapped, punched and scratched her, drawing blood.
The victim, who earned S$470 (about US$360) a month, told staff members from Singapore’s Centre for Domestic Employees (CDE) during a routine call about the abuse, and a police report was made.
Hazel Phang Fong Yen, a 67-year-old Singaporean woman, was sentenced to four months’ jail on Wednesday.
She was also ordered to pay S$4,440 to the victim in compensation. If she does not pay this amount, she will have to serve another four weeks in jail.
She pleaded guilty to a charge of voluntarily causing hurt to a domestic worker, with a second similar charge taken into consideration.
The court heard that the victim, 27-year-old Myanmar national Man Sian Hoih Cing, started working for Phang in August 2022 when she was 23.
Phang lived with her husband and mother in a flat.
