[halsey02]

Anyone on this forum willing to write a new book on modern day slavery.

I suggest calling it the "Resurrection Of Uncle Tom's Cabin - You Will Die In Singapore".

Start with the PAP..

 

[Kinana]

Such abusive and barbaric behaviors are the opposition types who don't appreciate other people. I am very sure this woman voted for opposition. Shame on her.

 

[DogVader]

So mean for her to do that.

It is not the color of cat...what has political affiliation got to do with human behavior, you mean those who voted for PAP are demi-gods?

No sir, I mean those who are the unappreciative types will vote opposition. Did you vote for opposition?

 

[halsey02]

No sir, I mean those who are the unappreciative types will vote opposition. Did you vote for opposition?

I voted for both..even an opposition MP says he voted for the PAP...so what does this make me?? unappreciative, ungracious ?? we here, like anyone else in the world, who can vote, have one time or the other voted for the main party & the opposition.. I am, I am sure others here, are no exception.

Slapping a maid in public, has nothing to do with how or who you voted, there are many factors to argue over this, too long to delve in, basically one main thing is upbringing... then you may want to go back to the lady ancestors...and ask, did they vote for the KMT or CCP?? (:- ???

Your attitude, behavior and voting preference changes too.

It is an indication sir. How can an appreciative person slap the maid in public?
How can an appreciative person not vote PAP?

Agree.. The lady should not have slapped her maid in public.. Should do it inside her house away from the public eye just like how LHL slapped Dhanabalan years ago during a Cabinet Meeting..

BTW goin by your daft logic, LHL is an Oppo voter too since he loves to slap people..

The majority of abuse of this nature isn't meted out by the capitalists. It comes from lowly peasant stock who have been carried away by the power they wield over their slave labour. Where else in the world can a clerk have someone at her beck and call 24 hours a day.

It's no different at the workplace. The office bully isn't the capitalist who owns the company. It's a fellow employee.

Yup there is nothing more dangerous than giving a bit of power to someone with an inferiority complex. It turns them into mini tyrants. Even this tiny forum isn't spared. They're a handful of such losers residing right here.

It's shocking that anyone could treat their maid so badly, worst of all most of these abuser are highly educated such as teachers or white collar workers. I believe these people must be living on high stress from their work or family otherwise they should have basic courtesy of treating people! What a bunch of assholes.

There are cases of PAP elites abusing their maids. The Annie Tan & Zahara Latif affair. We can only guess at the number of cases that were not reported

Maid hit for eating biscuits
By Elena Chong, Courts Correspondent

A MEDIACORP executive allegedly hurt her maid for eating biscuits, a district court heard on Monday.

Annie Tan, an assistant vice-president for sales, is said to have grabbed the head of her Filipino maid and banged it against the wall three times.

The 39-year-old woman also denied three other charges of slapping Ms Vilma Lambino Manuel, 37, on her face and causing her nose to bleed; grabbing her on her right arm; and kicking her on the left leg.

The alleged incidents took place at her Bishan home on Sept 18, 2008 - 18 days after the Filipina began working for her.

Ms Manuel, who works elsewhere now, told the court that her employer came home in the early hours on Sept 18, 2008 and asked if she had done all her work. Tan also asked who ate the biscuits.

When Ms Vilma said she ate some, Tan hit her head on the wall three times and slapped her on the face. A few minutes later, she took the can of biscuits and threw it at her.

If convicted, Tan faces a jail term of up to three years or a fine of up to $7,500 on each charge.



The Zahara Latif case:


British Broadcsting Corporation
East Asia Today
December 6, 2000


Catherine Napier: In Singapore, a former television presenter has been jailed for two months for abusing her Indonesian maid. Zahara Lateef admitted pouring detergent on her servant's head after a lecture about how to wash greasy dishes. She followed that with a jug of hot water scalding the 19-year-old girl's back and chest. The case was given a sympathetic write-up in a local press which noted the testimonial and the support of the accused from the Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong and reported comments by her counsel that his client now saw the world through a window of tears.
The abuse of servants is by no means confined to Singapore but Rex Ferona of the monitoring organisation the Asian Migrant Centre in Hongkong says the city-state has got a bad reputation.

Rex Ferona: In the past two years, we heard ourselves that there had been a number of cases of blatant physical and other forms of abuses that had been done especially to our foreign domestic helpers. Unlike in Hongkong or the rest of Asia - Korea or Japan - the migrant centre could not be organised which means it's very hard to them to defend themselves or fight back. Also there is no contract, there is no standard contract in Singapore for domestic helpers which is pretty very much between the employer and then the domestic helper to kind of arrange how they are going to exist in the area. Last year, in fact the government of Singapore issued a maid's manual, they called it, to kind of instruct the employers how to treat the domestic helpers because the government said that the reported case diminished Singapore's image as a gracious city.

Catherine Napier: In sentencing Zahara Lateef, the judge said there were strong factors mitigating her actions, namely that her maid had forgiven her and had been paid compensation. I put it to Singapore-based commentator Malena Nathan that Ms Lateef had got off lightly.

Malena Nathan: I think this case is unusual because it involved someone who is very well known in Singapore - Zahara Lateef used to be a news anchor woman on the local television channel - and looking at the testimonials she has received from the Prime Minister as well as community leaders, she has played an active role in the community. I supposed these are the reasons why it was felt that what she had done was the result of being in a great stress and great extenuating circumstances.

Catherine Napier: Now this is by no means the first case of abuse of a maid in Singapore. Is it fair to generalise and say that in general Singaporeans regard these maids from much poorer countries generally as second class citizens.

Malena Nathan: I don't think it would be fair to generalise simply because the fact that we know about them has to do with the extensive publicity and reporting that attends upon such cases of abuse. There was a similar case, a couple of months ago, where a Singaporean brought her maid with her to the Singapore Cricket Club and presented her as her guest. She wanted her to have a meal with her. But when the management ascertained that the guest was indeed her maid, she was asked to leave because it was against club rules. Now this again drew a very very warm response from Singaporeans. Warm in the sense that many Singaporeans are outraged by this saying it smacks of colonialism.

Catherine Napier: In the past, when Indonesian maids have been abused in Singapore, the cases have caused great waves in Indonesia itself. This kind of thing is not good for relations, is it?

Malena Nathan: Unfortunately what this does is reinforce the impression that Singapore being by and large the wealthiest and most "advanced' economy in South-east Asia also has the reputation of being the ugliest. People talked about the ugly Singaporean abroad in terms of the way Singaporeans behave when they are overseas. It would have appeared that there is a certain degree of that, albeit abroad or at home, in terms of how these foreign domestic maids are treated, and I think cases like this, although they are a minority, tend to reinforce the perception that Singaporeans treat people from the region, from countries that could be considered developing and not as advanced, in a way that they would not treat each other.

BTW goin by your daft logic, LHL is an Oppo voter too since he loves to slap people..

Bro Zeddy, no employer has any right to strike an employee, even if the employee did wrong, you could fire the employee but not laid hands on them, basic human right.

If i am the judge, i would sentence her to do maid service for the next 5 years as community service....oh i forgot SG is for the elites, the rule of law is up to them to decide...::*:

Is that right? Let's look back in history. The African slaves owners and the European colonists.

You are slacking, Sam.

Yes this is true, give them a little authority in the form of having a maid at their beck and call 24 hrs a day will make them into little monsters.

This is very true.

The members of the RCs are also very "authoritative" and think that the power of the government is also linked to them.

The same applies to all the Malaysians employed as NEA detectives, with Certis isco, Aetos and what not. They wear that uniform and go crazy from day one. They then unleash their terror and power onto the poor Singaporeans.

I just received a HDB summons for placing a parking ticket that expired 25 minutes earlier.

No amount of explanantion to the "powerful" warden could get me off for she again chided me and walked away.

Have a good day and please stay clear from "these weilders of super power".

Capitalists of the past are the same as capitalists of today. Capitalists will bully the weaker ones if given a chance. The attitude and behavior of capitalists are mirrored by their downstream employees.
