</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I HAVE just repatriated my Indonesian maid who was working for my family for 18 months. We are a small family of three who are mostly out of the house during the day. Our ex-maid had settled in well until after I had to have a gall bladder operation, which required me to stay at home to recover.
One day, I was horrified to find three pills in my morning cup of coffee. When I questioned her, my maid initially denied slipping in the pills, but confessed after I said I would report the matter to the police.
She said she had brought the tablets with her from Indonesia and was regularly mixing them in my food and drinks when I was recovering from my operation. She wanted me to feel drowsy and sleep the day off because she didn't like the fact that I was home so much. She enjoyed the situation when my family and I were not at home previously as it allowed her free rein.
She said she slipped in the pills to drown me in inertia, so that she could continue doing as she pleased.
Having repatriated her, I have since wondered if it was the right decision or whether I should have reported the matter to the authorities so that she can be placed on a blacklist, and prevent other Singapore families from falling victim to this maid.

'Sad that MOM did not help innocent employer.'
MR ANTHONY DASS: 'My heart went out to the innocent employer when I read the letter by Madam Peh Poh Hua, 'Maid's broken heart costs innocent boss 10k' (Aug 5). I am shocked that the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) is not a recognised hospital. It is indeed sad that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) did not help the innocent employer. Instead, MOM warned him of the penalties if the maid was not repatriated. It's time to hold accountable errant maids who indulge in their own 'extra curricular activities' during their days off, and not pin the burden on the employers. Employers have heeded MOM's call to allow their maids a day off. So, why should employers be held accountable for the misdeeds of their maids on their days off? It's time MOM addressed the issue of adequate insurance coverage to protect employers.
