Toddler whose hand was dipped in boiling water by maid 'traumatised'

The toddler has been having crying fits since the incident on Jan 14, her mother, who was still shaken, told TODAY on Wednesday.

Low, an accounts executive who also has an 8-year-old daughter, said her children have been badly affected by the incident. Her Facebook post stated that the pot was boiling, although it is not visible in the video. Traumatised by the incident, Low has been on urgent leave from work, taking turns with her project engineer husband to take care of their children.

Low said after the call from her 8-year-old, the couple rushed the toddler to a nearby clinic but they were later directed to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital’s accident and emergency department after the clinic doctor said the burns were too serious. But she felt something was amiss when the maid packed all her belongings and insisted on being taken back to the agency the next morning.

She also wrote in the post: “During this period, the agent kept threatening and harassing me. He accused me of being a bad employer – that I abused the maid hence wanted to leave, which I never did.”In response to TODAY’s queries, the Ministry of Manpower said that it is aware of Low’s social media post.
