Couple jailed for abusing Myanmar maid, ordered to pay compensation.
A couple were jailed on Monday for abusing a maid from Myanmar, more than two years after they were convicted for committing similar offences against an Indonesian maid.
The Myanmar maid was subjected to numerous violent assaults, including being slapped for oversleeping even though she only slept between after midnight and 5.30am daily. In sentencing the couple, District Judge Olivia Low noted that Chia’s mitigation plea had little mitigating value. Tay was jailed for 43 months while Chia was jailed for two months for their offences against Fitriyah – they have not served these sentences yet.
On another occasion, when Chia caught Moe Moe Than looking at herself in the mirror, she dragged the maid by the hair, pushed her to the floor and stepped on her chest. The assault caused the maid to have difficulty breathing.
