Maid jailed 11 weeks for abusing 69-year-old employer after being annoyed by his nagging

A 34-year-old Indonesian maid was sentenced to 11 weeks in jail for abusing her 69-year-old employer in Singapore. The abuse, which included slapping, pinching, and hitting, was caught on CCTV and reported by the victim's son. The victim, who suffers from various health issues including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and diverticulosis, had become unable to care for himself by November 2025 and relied on the maid for daily assistance.

The maid admitted to committing multiple acts of abuse while feeding the victim breakfast on April 20th, claiming that she thought the victim would be frightened by her actions and would remain silent. The suspect pleaded guilty to one charge of intentional assault, while the other charge awaits a judge's decision.
