SINGAPORE - The mother of a baby girl who was abandoned at a housing block's lift lobby had such a drastic change in her appearance that a concerned neighbour thought she was abused and starved.
Last Thursday (Aug 8), Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that a week-old baby girl was found abandoned at the lift landing of Block 203 in Serangoon Central.
The mother, who is a maid, appeared pallid and gaunt the night after she delivered the baby.
The concerned neighbour who saw her that night, said: "When I saw the maid a few months back, she still looked healthy and cheerful. It was such a stark contrast when I saw her two weeks ago. I thought she was abused, and probably wasn't given any food to eat."
When asked by the neighbour's maid, the mother of the abandoned baby denied that she was mistreated by her employer.
Lianhe Wanbao reported that the maid usually wore loose and baggy T-shirts and shorts, hiding her figure.
The neighbour was shocked to learn that the maid was linked to the abandoned baby girl.

SINAGPORE - The maid who had abandoned her new-born baby girl last Thursday has been blacklisted and is no longer able to work in Singapore again.
It was reported in Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao that a week-old baby girl was found at the lift landing of Block 203 in Serangoon Central on Aug 8. The mother was later revealed to be a 28-year-old maid.
The Indonesian maid's identity was revealed after her employer recognised the wrap that the baby was in.
Many readers were curious about the events leading up the incident and posed many questions about the incident after the report was published.
A reporter from the publication contacted the maid agency to better understand the rules and procedures.
According to Miss Huang, 40, a representative from the maid agency, maids are firstly screened if they are pregnant before being hired. That is the fundamental requirement.
"We always emphasise to them about the procedures if they get pregnant. They will be sent back to their countries, but they are still able to come back to Singapore and work," said Miss Huang.
"However," she added, "If they were found out to lying and dishonest about their pregnancy, they will be blacklisted and prohibited from working in Singapore again."
According to Miss Huang, maids will usually get scared and heed to the warning after hearing the word, 'blacklisted'.
