Employers starved maid for 15 mths from 49kg to 29kg, guess the nationality and race?

SINGAPORE - A Singaporean couple claimed trial on Monday (Dec 14) to charges of failing to provide their former Filipino domestic worker with adequate food, causing her weight to drop by 20kg over a 15-month period.

Ms Thelma Oyasan Gawidan, 40, weighed just 29kg when she was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in April last year, compared to 49 kg in Jan 2013.

Her former employer, Lim Choon Hong, 47, faces one charge of contravening Condition 1 in Part 1 of the Fourth Schedule to the Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations 2012.

Lim's wife, Chong Sui Foon, 47, meanwhile faces a count of abetting Lim in committing the offence.

A TTSH doctor who attended to Ms Thelma after she was taken to the hospital's emergency department by a shelter on April 29 last year told the court that she had said she was given insufficient food.

She also complained of difficulty sleeping, and had not had her menses for about a year.

When asked about her food intake, she told doctors that she was given two meals a day.

Her ration consisted only of bread and instant noodles.

At a review at the hospital in June last year, after she was discharged, she weighed 43kg.

If convicted, Lim and Chong both face a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both.

SINGAPORE: A Singaporean couple is on trial for allegedly starving their Filipina domestic helper. She weighed just 29kg when she escaped from their Orchard Road condominium in April 2014.

Lim Choon Hong and wife Chong Sui Foon, both 47, face one charge each under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, which states that employers are responsible for the "maintenance" of their foreign employee, including proving them with adequate food.

Ms Thelma Oyasan Gawidan, 40, had worked for the couple for almost 1.5 years before she escaped and sought refuge at HOME, a non-profit organisation that assists migrant workers, including domestic helpers.

Ms Thelma lost 20kg whilst working for Lim and Chong. She told HOME of only being given instant noodles to eat twice a day for over a year. Besides her significant weight loss, Ms Thelma also complained about not getting sufficient rest, and about being forced to sleep odd hours in a storeroom.

Chong also only allowed her to shower once or twice a week. She also kept tabs on Ms Thelma to make sure she did not use any hot water, despite forcing her to shower in the condominium's public toilet, Ms Christina Quek, the investigation officer in charge of the case, told the court.

HOME reported Ms Thelma's conditions to the Ministry of Manpower, who directed the NGO to send Ms Thelma for a medical check up.

In court on Monday (Dec 14), Dr Lim Huiyu, senior resident at Tan Tock Seng Hospital's department of gastroenterology and hepatology who examined Ms Thelma in April this year, testified that she suffered "significant weight loss due to insufficient intake of food". This conclusion was arrived at after ruling out medical or organic causes. So malnourished was Ms Thelma that she did not have her period for a year, the doctor said.

Ms Thelma will take the stand on Monday afternoon.

If found guilty, the couple could be jailed up to 12 months and/or fined up to S$10,000.

i think it includes all employees, not just maids. and if a lady got pregnant, sack her as it may cost the company some money.

When I eat only bread and instant noodles, I gain weights.

This kind of employer still can work for more than one year? If I am the maid I would have quit within weeks.
