SINGAPORE: Getting hit with a saucepan, kicked in the stomach and being forced to rub her face in faeces - these were some instances of abuse Indonesian national Sri Rahayu was put through, just months after becoming a foreign domestic worker in Singapore.
“On another occasion, in order to punish the victim for failing to make sure that the laundry was dry, Ooi instructed the victim to wet her clothes and sleep in them,” said Ms Goh, adding that the maid did as she was told.INJURIES CONCEALED “Ooi made the victim wear a tudung when they left the hotel, in order to cover up her swollen forehead,” she added.
The victim was not allowed to hang clothes on the balcony or leave the unit to throw rubbish as Ooi was afraid that the neighbours would see the bruising on her arms, the prosecutor said. He then grabbed, pulled and scratched the maid’s ears, causing them to become itchy and swollen. There was also bleeding from her left ear.
On Dec 30, Ooi took Ms Sri Rahayu to a clinic again as the swelling had not subsided. The maid was told to lie to the doctor that she already had a deformed left ear before coming to Singapore. Ms Sri Rahayu escaped while the couple was attending to the baby and sought help from another Indonesian maid who happened to be passing by. She was then taken to a police station and later to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.VULNERABLE VICTIM
