Court,Foreign Domestic Worker

SINGAPORE — For almost three years, a woman entered into an arrangement with her foreign domestic worker to “safekeep” all her salary instead of paying her monthly as required by law.

Wu Xiaoling, also known as Nur Nadhrah, leaving the State Courts on June 18, 2024.A woman entered into an arrangement with her domestic helper to safekeep all her salary, at the latter's request

The employer, Wu Xiaoling, also known as Nur Nadhrah, ended up accumulating almost S$24,000 in arrears of wages to her maid. She later paid her, but only about half the amount. The Employment of Foreign Manpower Act requires an employer to pay a helper her salary no later than seven days after it is due.“They entered into a safekeeping arrangement whereby the accused would safekeep Tumpik’s salary until the end of Tumpik’s employment,” said manpower ministry prosecutor Jasmine Koh.
