AN UNEMPLOYED woman was charged in court on Thursday with eight counts of maid abuse.

Ang Yeng Mee, 35, is said to have caused hurt to her Myanmar maid Moe Moe Myint, 28, at her home in Woodlands between December 2009 and March last year.

She is accused in separate incidents of slapping, punching, hitting her with two ladles, kicking and pushing her head against the wall.

Her lawyer S. S. Dhillon sought an adjournment to make representations.

The case will be mentioned on June 30.

If convicted, she faces a jail term of up to three years or a fine of up to $7,500 or jail and fine on each charge.

Ang Yeng Mee, 36, had asked the maid to list the chores she had completed in the morning. Ms Moe Moe Myint, 28, forgot to include the work she did from noon to 1pm and the 36-year-old housewife punished her by hitting her with a metal ladle and a wooden cane.

The next day on March 2, 2010, the police came calling at Ang's Woodlands flat after receiving an anonymous tip-off. On Monday, Ang pleaded guilty to hitting the maid's face and head on March 1, 2010. She also admitted to slapping, punching and kicking Ms Myint and pushing her head against a wall. The attacks started soon after the maid from Myanmar started working for Ang on Dec 24, 2009.

Asking the court to consider placing his client on probation, defence lawyer S.S. Dhillon said that his client had suffered a very traumatic childhood as she had been ill-treated by her stepfather. Doctors had also diagnosed that she was suffering from depression and overactivity of the thyroid gland and this contributed to the commission of the offences of maid abuse, the lawyer added.
