SINGAPORE : An Indonesian maid has been charged with the murder of her 70-year-old employer.

24-year-old Tri Lestari allegedly killed Choy Ah Moy on August 19 between 1.15am and 9.05am.

Madam Choy was living with her youngest son and his wife at Block 23 Jalan Membina. She was found dead, face up, on her bed.

Lestari, who had been working for only about 10 days, was nowhere to be found.

She was subsequently arrested on August 20 at the Tiong Bahru Food Centre.

Neighbours and friends describe Madam Choy as jovial, but she has been known to be unwell.

They said Lestari was employed to care for her, but the two could not communicate.

The case has been set for further mention next Wednesday.

If convicted, Lestari could face the death penalty. - CNA /ls

One of the reasons is because we have hired so many maids over the past few years especially when most of our income are improving. Many Maid Agencies are just grabbing women who are willing to leave their country from all over Indonesia and Philippines to come over here to work. I doubt proper sceening, interviews or even proper explanations and briefings are done during some of these hirings. When the women are here, then they find out that they are already in debts and that they have to pay it off by hook or by crook and so they are forced to work here in Singapore even if they don't have the heart to. That's one of the major reasons why we are having more and more of these problems nowadays. :notimpressed2:

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again.
What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
