Maid's 1am trysts at home
'A lesson for Singaporeans who employ maids - monitor closely, check that the CCTVs actually work and be friendly to your neighbours.'
MR BRENDAN TAN: If my neighbour had not chanced upon it one night at 1am, my Indonesian maid would have continued her nocturnal trysts. She and her boyfriend would be in her room for a few hours. She had met the Sabah man at a friend's birthday party during her monthly day-off six months ago. She would wait for my family and I to fall asleep, before sneaking him in. The CCTVs in the condominium could have captured their movements - if they had been functioning. She admitted that it had happened over 10 times and we've since sent her packing. She returned home with a grand total of $180 after working for 13 months with us, but she did not look remorseful. We've phoned the Sabah man too. He needs to know that his photo is available in the guardroom, perhaps next to Mas Selamat's. Their intimate act has been recorded in a police report, the closest they will come to solemnising their erstwhile relationship. Let this be a lesson for Singaporeans who employ maids - monitor your maids closely, check that the CCTVs, if any, actually work and be friendly to your neighbours. Still haunted by the image of a man tip-toeing around the house in the middle of the night, I have since thanked mine.'
