Tribute to single mother working as a food delivery rider who died last week

[Johnrambo]

( – )

Ho Mei Li, also known as Phoebe, or to those in the food rider community in the Woodlands area, “e-bike number 25”, was with two of her friends when an unfortunate incident happened on the early morning of 7 October 2021. She was 35.

Phoebe, a single mother, had little financially but she wanted to give the very best future to her two children, aged 10 and 15. Her youngest sister, Rachel, recounted, “all Mei Li wanted was to be able to buy a flat where she and her children can call home”. To that end, in the past one year, she toiled especially hard. She goes the extra mile to earn that extra commission so that she can save up for her children’s future. As much as she wanted to, one of her regrets was that she was unable to spend as much time with her two boys as she would have liked. She hopes her two boys can, in future, understand why mummy couldn’t spend more time with them. She worked, with them and their future constantly on her mind.

She leads a simple and honest life. As an affectionate person, after buying lunch for her boys and before she goes to work, she would make it a point to say “Mama loves you dearly” to her boys. Due to her educational background, she wasn’t the most articulate person, so she expresses her love towards her family in her own little way by placing a “love-shaped symbol ❤️” before the name of each of her family members, including her Dajie and Erjie, in her phone contact list.

The very same single mother Ho Mei Li who was jailed in 2015?

SINGAPORE - A woman assaulted her maid for not hand-washing her children's clothes as instructed but using the washing machine instead.

Ho Mei Li, 28, who sells phone accessories, hit 36-year-old Indonesian Neni Lestari and stamped on her at a flat in Marsiling Drive on July 6 last year.

On Friday, Ho broke down in tears when District Judge Toh Yung Cheong sentenced her to three weeks' jail.

The court heard that the single mother who had returned to her flat drunk at about 7am that day flew into a rage when she found out that the maid had not done as told.

She hit the victim and stamped her on her chest several times as she was lying down. Fearing for her life, the maid fled when Ho locked herself in her bedroom along with the victim's personal belongings.

With the help of a passer-by, the victim proceeded to her maid agency and filed a police report. The maid suffered multiple contusions.




Ho had told the court earlier that she had had too much to drink and had also had an altercation with the maid earlier. The maid had told that she wanted to go back to her agent.

Pleading for leniency, Ho said she had no intention of hurting the maid severely and that she needed to take care of her two children, aged eight and three.

In passing sentence, Judge Toh said she had only been charged with a single incidence of violence and that to her good fortune the injuries were not serious, he said.

"Nevertheless, maid abuse is a very serious matter because the maid is in your flat, and in many ways, depends on you to provide her housing and food while she carries out her work," he said.

A second charge of pointing two knives at the maid was considered during her sentencing. She could have been jailed for up to three years and/or fined $7,500 for maid abuse.

Those kids will probably be given to some relative or adoptive parents who will abuse them. Sad!
