Singapore - A Singapore court on Friday fined a housewife 6,000 Singapore dollars (4,240 US dollars) for slapping and knocking the head of her Indonesian maid, a media report said. Cheah Yow Ling, 33, scolded her maid, identified as Ms Aseni, 25, in July last year, accusing the helper of not cleaning up properly after the pest control man sprayed the area around the house with insecticide.
After the maid, who had been working in the household for four months, sought medical treatment, a police report was filed, the online edition of the Straits Times newspaper reported.
