She dragged her employer’s 77-year-old mother around the house by her shirt and then pushed her head against a kitchen wall with her right hand.
The maid, Naw Toe Toe Mar, 26, also pulled the dementia patient’s hair with both hands and hit her head multiple times.
For abusing the woman, the Myanmar national was sentenced to four weeks’ jail yesterday.
The abuse on May 16 was captured by a security camera which the employer, Ms Edwina Chan Ruth, 45, had installed last year after she noticed several bruises on her mother, who lives with her in a Teck Whye HDB flat.
