Indonesian Maid Sentenced for False Abuse Claim
Jakarta Globe, March 30, 2010
An Indonesian maid has been sentenced to eight weeks in prison in Singapore after admitting to filing a false abuse report against her employer.
Ida Farida, 25, said she made spurious statements to police last September alleging that her employer’s wife had hit her on the back with a broom and used a fork to scratch her on the back and arm.
Ida said she was looking for a way out of the job because her employer’s wife was mean and her agent had refused to take her back.
‘Being made to go down to Bedok Police Divisional Headquarters to face an allegation of maid abuse inflicted public humiliation on the wife and family of the accused’s employer,’’ said Deputy Public Prosecutor Wong Woon Kwong as quoted by the Straits Times news Web site.
