Maid dies saving baby girl
SHE loved them so much that she was even willing to lay her life down for the girls. On Saturday night, Indonesian maid Puji Astutik died proving her love - and saved her boss' one-year-old.
Ms Puji, 28, was crossing the road with her employer, Mrs Lam's younger daughter, when an SMRT bus ran into her at the junction of Choa Chu Kang Street 52 and Choa Chu Kang North 6.
She flung the baby girl forward but was pinned under the wheels, The New Paper and Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao reported.
She was rushed to the National University Hospital, but died later that night from her injuries. The Lams' daughter suffered minor scratches on her left arm and kept shivering that night.
Neighbours remember Ms Puji as a 'very friendly' person who would say hi. Mrs Lam said she intended to renew the maid's contract when it expired in September.
Witnesses can call the Traffic Police at 1800-5471818.
