SINGAPORE - A month after starting work for a family in Telok Kurau, an Indonesian maid became so homesick and filled with longing for her lover in Hong Kong, that she hatched a"ruthless plan" to kill her employer.
In opening its case against Daryati, the prosecution cited her own words that she had written in her diary. Daryati roped in the second maid in the household to help, but did not say that the plan involved murder. In the days before she stabbed Madam Seow, whom she later described to police as"a very nice person", Daryati hid weapons on the second floor of the three-storey house, the DPP told the court.
She made her move only after Madam Yeo and her two children had gone up to the third floor, and after Madam Seow's brother and two sons had left the house, said the DPP. When Madam Seow shouted, Daryati dragged her employer to the toilet, closed the door and repeatedly slashed and stabbed her neck, head and face until the older woman collapsed on the floor.
I think there a need to screen all foreign workers not only on their qualifications but also they mental state of mind before entering into Singapore to work.
