Four months into her work, an Indonesian maid went into a bedroom of her employer's house in Sembawang Place to look for things to steal.
She found some money in a drawer and took a $1,000 note.
When the March 5 theft was discovered an hour later, her employer suspected Fitri Heniyati was the culprit and sent the 24-year-old back to the maid agency the next day.
The police were not notified. At the maid agency in Yishun Central, Fitri passed the money to a countrywoman called Rohani, who was waiting to be assigned an employer.
