AN INDONESIAN maid who sprayed a window cleaning solution onto a plate before serving rice to her employer's mother was jailed for eight weeks on Thursday.
Oktiana, 25, did this to get back at Madam Lee Neo Eng, 84, for reprimanding her for being slow in her work on April 14.
Oktiana, who was then preparing dinner, sprayed the cleaning solution before scooping some brown rice onto it in the kitchen. She then served it to Madam Lee.
Assistant Public Prosecutor Asran Samad said she used the same plate to serve the victim a second time.
Madam Lee smelt a suspicious detergent bleach-like odour from the rice just as she was about to eat.
The maid eventually admitted to spraying the cleaning solution onto the plate before scooping the rice.
She could have been jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to $2,500.
