SINGAPORE - A banquet manager who hit his Indonesian maid was jailed for four weeks on Wednesday.

Muhamad Al-Hafiz Nordin, 31, admitted to two of three charges of maid abuse at his flat in Edgefield Plains in Punggol in 2012.

His wife, Nuraini Hassan, 31, had employed the 34-year-old maid, Yulianti, in January 2012 to do household chores and take care of their then two-year-old daughter. Nuraini has also been charged with abusing Ms Yulianti, but her case is at the pre-trial conference stage.

Al-Hafiz treated the victim well during her first few months with the family. He started abusing her in April, and continued in July and August that year, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Selene Yap.
