She was also allegedly told by the director of the firm to pay tax penalties amounting to more than S$1,000 for breaching her employment contract.The ministry said that the Malaysian worker did not make a report before her death. About 11 months later, her mother contacted the ministry on Oct 29. She later found out that her daughter had to work very late and skip dinner often, and was constantly berated at work.
The mother, who lives in Muar, Malaysia, believes that this was what spurred her daughter to commit suicide. She told TODAY in Mandarin: “My daughter was a very filial, bubbly and compassionate child who, after the job, lost joy in her life. I only want to seek justice as there is nothing that can bring back my daughter now.”
