A food stall owner lied to her Indonesian domestic helper, claiming that she wanted to send her home to Surabaya for a purported 10-day holiday, before cancelling the maid’s work permit.
She managed to borrow a taxi driver’s mobile phone and called her employment agent in Singapore, who arranged for her to stay with a friend of the agent’s colleague in Batam before returning to Singapore. Ms Islahatul started working for Hong in February 2018. Hong broke the law by making the helper work at her fish soup stall at Jurong Point shopping mall almost every day for about three weeks.
The prosecutor said: “Islahatul initially rejected this offer of a holiday, as she feared that the accused would replace her if she went home.
