Employer: I felt my head burning

She was in the shower when she felt her head burning and the pungent smell of chlorine filling her nose.
It turned out someone had poured bleach into her shampoo and conditioner.
The culprit, she later found out, was her former maid, whom she had decided to send back to the agency the day before.
The maid, a 26-year-old Myanmar national, had been with the family for four months.
Her employer, a 45-year-old businesswoman who wanted to be known only as Mrs Tan,was unhappy with the maid's performance.
What she did not expect was that the maid would get back at the family by putting bleach into all the bottles of shampoo and conditioner in the three bathrooms of the family’s penthouse unit in a Woodlands condominium.
The maid even allegedly poured bleach into Mrs Tan's youngest daughter's contact lens solution.
