[Maid abuse] Singapore is a very evil and lawless country.
There is broad daylight injustice.
Former regional IT manager Tay Wee Kiat and his wife, former senior sales manager Chia Yun Ling, were given two sets of sentences following two separate trials and appeals over the abuse of their Indonesian and Myanmar maids. ST FILE PHOTO
The maids whom these rich, well dressed but very evil people tortured should be given state funded lawyers to confiscate sufficient property to make up for the physical and emotional damage caused by working for such evil employers.
If the evil employers are unable to pay or have made deliberate efforts to conceal their wealth, then the jail term in lieu for non-payments should be calculated at the rate of maids salary and not time taken for the rich perpetrator to earn the equivalent salary.
E.g. : if there is evidence that the evil couple refused to pay the compensation $ of $17,850: "In lieu of paying compensation of $17,850 to the two maids, Tay will have to serve another six weeks, while Chia will have to serve an additional five weeks and 10 days."
The current court basis for the jail term is probably an estimate that the couples basic average salary was ~$2,142/week. (Calculated on basis that they served only 2/3 of ~12 weeks and 3 days in jail due to 'good behaviour ' to compensate for the $17,850 they told the prosecutors that they would refuse to pay.
In this case, their jail term in lieu should probably be 10 times at least longer assuming that their maid weekly salary is 10 times less than each of the employers (~$214.20/week): thus the courts ought to have jailed the evil employers for a total of 125 weeks (give each employer additional 63 weeks jail for their refusal to pay compensation to their injured and mistreated maids).
That said, the fact that the employers were given additional jail terms for declining the DPP request for them to pay compensation should not preclude the maids from hiring or accepting pro bono legal help to sue and confiscate the employers property for sale to make good the damage caused by their employers to their life and future.
