WCW:

poor baby... he's in my blessing to find a good family who will love him dearly.

i wonder how come the maid's employer doesnt know her \"part-tme job\" and also her pregnancy? plus if she pregnant how she do her \"part-time job\"???

she ran away after working for 4 months with a local family and overstayed for 270+ days moving around and finally worked in Geylang
so the employer was actually not at fault for not knowing about her pregnancy. She did tried to ask her embassy for help but they turned her away because she did not have a passport.

This maid ran away after 4 months...I really pity her employer bcos the bond will be forfeited :moneyflies: , and of course the innocent baby boy. These maids don't know how much money it costs to bring them here...not happy, run away or ask for change of employer.

I think employers suffer more at the hands of maids than vice versa.
The amt of money we have to spend before bringing them in and the problems/trouble maids give when they arrive :stompfeet: Pity them and these maids will climb on your head. Strict with them, the maids feed you with saliva or soap powder. Worse still, they murder the employer and get off with imprisonment for a life lost claiming to be of unsound mind.

totally agree with you Janet.

wonder why the human rights group kept mum about this case? werent they always fighting for the maids’ rights and welfare?

Maid-turned-prostitute jailed, fined, for burying newborn

SINGAPORE - A 28-year-old Indonesian maid was sentenced to 10 weeks jail and $2,000 fine in court today for burying her newborn baby alive.

Indriani, who goes by one name, is also charged with overstaying in Singapore for 273 days after her S-pass expired on July 19, 2010.

She had given birth to the baby boy at a rooftop garden at Blk 31A Eunos Crescent in the early hours of April 18 2011.

She then carried the baby to some potted plants nearby, tied a black plastic bag around his neck and buried him in the soil.

Newborn baby found buried alive

About 11 hours later, Mr Tay King Sia, 60, discovered the baby, who was still alive.

When delivering the sentence, District Judge Sarjit Singh said he recognised the offences were serious but he had taken into consideration Indriani's mental condition at the time they were committed.

She arrived in Singapore in March last year and worked as a foreign domestic worker in her employers' home.

But she ran away four months later and took shelter at various parks over the next few months.

Indriani then turned to prostitution in Geylang to support herself.

In October 2010, she realised that she was pregnant but did not know who the father of the child was.

Investigations showed that she grew increasingly desperate to return home to Indonesia and with the assistance of a few individuals, went to the Indonesian Embassy on April 14, 2011.

However, she was turned away at the gate as she did not have a passport.

She then wandered around the Eunos area the next few days. On the night of April 17 this year, Indriani experienced sharp abdominal pains and realised that she was in labour.

She then went to the rooftop garden at Blk 31A Eunos Cresent where she took two tablets from a slab of medicine she found amongst some rubbish.

She then gave birth to the child around 2 am to 2.30 am.

After burying the child in the soil of potted plants nearby, she willfully abandoned the child. She was arrested on April 24.

The child has since been placed in foster care.

\"I think there is a baby here, can you come and check\"

Mr Tay King Sia was at the roof of Blk 31A Eunos Crescent when he heard soft cries coming from the bushes.

Shin Min Dailiy News reported in April that he had first dismissed the cries as a cat's.

But the retiree soon realised there were no animals nearby and investigated the source. He discovered a pair of legs sticking out from the ground.

He immediately dug the soil at the spot and he then discovered a baby boy in the 10cm deep hole.

\"I asked my friend to come and take a look, I thought it was a doll at first,\" said Mr Tay.

His umbilical cord was still attached.

Miraculously, the baby was still breathing, but was very weak.

I really wonder why the embassy didn't notice that she is a domestic worker, yet she is pregnant and without any passport? It's just 3 days before her delivery, I supposed her tummy should be obvious that she is pregnant?

In the first place how did she get her S-pass? I thought maids come in as work permit holders. How did MOM approve her S-pass?

Ya I found this very strange too.. unless they reported wrongly?
