SINGAPORE: A nanny hired to care for two infants each under a year old is accused of poisoning them with drugs including sleeping pills, antihistamines and medication for anxiety.

Sa'adiah Jamari, 38, claimed trial on Tuesday (Feb 18) to two counts of administering poisons to a five-month-old baby and an 11-month-old child in 2016.

The court heard that Sa'adiah had been a registered nurse since 2002 and had also listed freelance nursing services online.

The mother of the younger victim took the stand on Tuesday and described how she felt her daughter was drowsy and cranky every time she picked her up from Sa'adiah's home.

She had posted on Facebook that she urgently needed a Muslim babysitter for her two daughters – a five-year-old girl and the five-month-old victim.

The mother, who cannot be named in order to protect the victim's identity, hired Sa'adiah after the latter commented on her post.

She said she would provide clothes and milk and told Sa'adiah to feed the infant milk if she cried.

The first time Sa'adiah babysat the two girls in early November 2016, the mother noticed that her younger daughter was "cranky" and "tossing around in bed".

The infant was not her usual self, said the mother, adding that her daughter would usually respond to smiles with actions such as finger-grabbing.

MOTHER NOTICED A PATTERN

As time went by, the mother noticed a pattern of her younger child being very sleepy whenever she picked her up from Sa'adiah's home.

"The first few times (she was) like drowsy, so I thought she just woke up from her nap," said the mother. "So I didn't really think about it much. But subsequently, when I send her, she seemed to be more sleepy. Her eyes would be a bit swollen, the top part of her eyelids ... like drooping down."

She said the baby was cranky as if she wanted to sleep and would throw the bottle aside when fed milk.

When spoken to, the baby seemed to be struggling to hear where the voice came from, testified the mother.

After three or four such occasions, the mother took her baby to KK Women's and Children's Hospital for a check up in late November 2016.

A healthcare professional said the baby seemed "fine", but the mother insisted a blood test was done. The results were normal.

"I felt upset," said the mother, who grew emotional on the stand. "It was my instincts against a medical examination ... what's happening to her isn't being acknowledged ... But I took it in good faith."

She said she had no evidence that anything harmful was being done to her daughter. She was in a situation where she had no one to help her care for her daughter, so she continued sending her to Sa'adiah.

BABY'S GRANDMOTHER EXPRESSES ALARM

This went on until Dec 9, 2016, when the mother picked her baby up in the evening.

The girl seemed "very, very drowsy" and was unable to open her eyes, which had swollen lids. She said the sleepiness appeared to be "different", as her eyes were reddish and she did not seem to have control of her hands.

"First thing my mother said when she saw me was, 'what happened to her'," the court was told.

The child's grandmother was very shocked and said it looked like there was something wrong with the infant.

The mother said she had previously taken her daughter to a hospital, but test results were normal.

The child's grandmother started crying in the car and urged her husband to go to the hospital. They then drove to Parkway East Hospital, where the baby was admitted.

"I told the doctor she seemed very drowsy, as if she's been drugged. Her head was tilting backwards – like no strength," said the mother.

The doctor did some tests on the child, and one of them found that her glucose levels were very low.

"When admitted, I recalled nurses in the ward holding her, trying to feed her milk with a spoon because she can't even suck the milk bottle. You had to force feed her," said the mother.

The infant was warded for about five days. The mother stopped sending her daughters to Sa'adiah.

NANNY ACCUSED OF FEEDING FIRST VICTIM 10 DIFFERENT DRUGS

In December 2016, the mother received the toxicology report from the doctor, who explained the terms to her.

She then made a police report.

According to the charge sheets, Sa'adiah gave the five-month-old child 10 different drugs including: Alprazolam, also known as Xanax, meant for anxiety; Orphenadrine, a muscle relaxant; Zolpidem, to aid sleep; Oxazepam, for anxiety and acute alcohol withdrawal; and diazepam, a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal or muscle spasms.

Sometime after filing the police report in late December that year, the mother of the first victim saw a viral Facebook post about a babysitter who was suspected to have drugged children.

The mother reached out to another woman who wrote in the comments that her daughter had been drugged, saying that she faced the same situation.

This woman is the mother of the second victim - an 11-month-old baby who was allegedly drugged on Dec 25, 2016 and Dec 26, 2016.

The first victim is now her normal self and is attending childcare, her mother told the court.

The trial continues on Wednesday. Sa'adiah is defended by lawyers Chua Eng Hui and Luo Ling Ling from RHTLaw Asia, who asked for a gag order on their client's name.

District Judge John Ng said there was no reason for it to be redacted.

If found guilty of administering poison with the intent to cause hurt, Sa'adiah can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. She cannot be caned as she is a woman.

Very easy to buy prescription drugs over the counter in Thailand. don't need any doctor's prescription obviously
 
If found guilty of administering poison with the intent to cause hurt, Sa'adiah can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. She cannot be caned as she is a woman.

Why no equal rights & privileges....AWARE, please clarify.
 
She had posted on Facebook that she urgently needed a Muslim babysitter for her two daughters – a five-year-old girl and the five-month-old victim.

Why need halal babysitter? Haram infidel babysitter cannot do the job properly, or will lead your little children astray from the faith? :rolleyes:

The reasoning given is that if you rotan her kar chng, her cheebai become rosak and she might not be able to become a mother. :biggrin:

It is heartening to know that a (young and healthy) lanjiao+lampar combo absorbs much of the shock from rotan strokes on the buttocks. Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of science can explain this. Another perk of being a (Sinkie) man, in addition to the ability of peeing while standing up. :wink:

If you dress up like a Catholic nun everyday in a hot tropical climate, it will take a toll on your psychological well-being. :wink:

I think even the real Catholic nuns in Sinkieland wear clothes that provide better ventilation. :roflmao:

Malays are all drug addicts
Even without illegal drugs they also can abuse prescription drugs. Even cough medicine also can abuse.
 
Early training so the kids can become successful drug addicts in their adolescence to maintain stereotype profile.

SINGAPORE: A babysitter on trial for poisoning two babies had received medication from her best friend, a doctor, over the years, including the year she allegedly drugged the two infants.
Two of the medicines she received were among the list of drugs found in the two babies – who are not related – after they were hospitalised.

This was revealed in court on Thursday (Feb 27) afternoon, when Dr Peter Looi took the stand for the prosecution in the case against registered nurse Sa'adiah Jamari, 38.
She faces two counts of administering poisons to a five-month-old baby and an 11-month-old child in 2016.

Toxicology reports listed 10 drugs found in the younger baby, and six in the older one. The drugs include sleeping pills, antihistamines and medication for anxiety.

Dr Looi was the principal resident physician at Changi General Hospital's Accident and Emergency department in 2016, and was at Sa'adiah's home the night the second victim was dropped off at her home to be cared for.
When asked to describe his relationship with Sa'adiah, Dr Looi said: "I would say I am her best friend. I've been her mentor, her adviser, her confidante, her doctor, and I know a fair bit of her life."
He said he has had this relationship with Sa'adiah for at least 15 years.
He did not stay with Sa'adiah, but visited her home four to five times a week, spending a few hours there each night, but did not stay overnight.
He said he knew Sa'adiah, an enrolled nurse since 2002, was offering babysitting services but he was not involved in them and did not have any contact with the babies.
Asked if he took any medication over to Sa'adiah's home in 2016, Dr Looi said: "Sometimes when the accused is sick, or her daughters are sick, I might bring some simple flu or cough medication."
He added that he would have taken the medication "from the department".
DOCTOR MIGHT HAVE GIVEN ACCUSED TWO DRUGS
When taken through the full list of drugs found in the babies' systems after they were hospitalised, Dr Looi said he might have given Sa'adiah two of the drugs on the list.
These were chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine, and orphenadrine, also known as the muscle relaxant Anarex.
Asked how often he brought the two medications to Sa'adiah's home, Dr Looi said: "When they're sick, when they need it."
Cross-examined by the defence, he said only three of the drugs on the list were prescription drugs, and the rest could be bought over-the-counter or at pharmacies.
The prescription drugs were common medication available "in any clinic in Singapore", said Dr Looi.
"They are common medications given for anxiety, for stress and for sleeping disorders," he said.
District Judge John Ng showed Dr Looi a photo of the medication prescribed to Sa'adiah by Dr Looi that was not part of the flu or cough medicines that he said he had given her.
Dr Looi acknowledged that it was not true he had only given her flu or cough medication, and said this medication was for menstrual disorders.
He then added that he had also given Sa'adiah injections for pain and vomiting, but did not give her any sedatives or sleeping pills.
Sa'adiah was seeking psychiatric help and obtained other drugs from her psychiatrist, he said, but added that he did not interfere with the dispensing of that medication.
FATHER OF 11-MONTH-OLD VICTIM TOOK STAND
Earlier in the day, the father of the second victim had taken the stand. The man, who cannot be named in order to protect the identity of his child, is currently facing a charge in the High Court for a separate case and turned up in cuffs.
He told the court that it was his first time hiring a babysitter when he engaged Sa'adiah to care for his daughter, who was 11 months old at the time.

He had done so as he had been having arguments with his wife. They are now divorced.
The couple had decided to look for a nanny for their child for just one night, and dropped her off at Sa'adiah's house on Dec 25, 2016.
They spent the night out and returned to pick their daughter up the next morning.
The infant had a bruise on her head and appeared lethargic. She kept falling over when she tried to stand up and had seemed "very lethargic like she got no strength at all", the father told the court.
He said her eyes kept rolling upwards, "like being drugged".
The couple tried calling the accused, but she did not answer, so they turned up at her home. When they arrived, Sa'adiah slammed the door on them, the father told the court.
His wife took their daughter to the hospital and the infant was admitted for about a week.
The defence had questioned the victim's father on whether he had any illness, or kept any medicine at home.
He said he had depression, but did not keep any medication at home. He also said he had never been charged or convicted of substance abuse, and the prosecution objected when the defence asked what he was "serving time for".
The defence suggested to him that the bruises found on his baby's head were from rolling about on the floor.
"How do you get a head injury when you roll about on the floor?" the father said.
When asked if he had ever disciplined the baby, he said: "Of course we discipline the baby, but we never hit her at all."
The first tranche of the trial ended on Thursday afternoon and both sides will return to court next month to take further dates for the next tranche.
If found guilty of administering poison with the intent to cause hurt, Sa'adiah can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined. She cannot be caned as she is a woman.
