Siberian Husky killed by maid

Y K SG

My heart goes out to you... =\

Next time employ maid, I think it's better we lay out clearly their job scope so at least maybe some will turn down the job if there are things they don't want to do... I dunno lar, I've never been involved in the maid employment process before.

But you must be so traumatized... poor thing.

Yes, we did interviewed her via webcam and phone as well as showing Star's photos to her, she smiled happily over the webcam and said no problem at all. In fact most of the time we are the one taking care of Star only unless we were caught up with work.

Will not get any maid anymore.....too dangerous.

Y K SG

so who normally took care of your deceased dog ? ....

the maid used to take care of the dog ? .... walks and stuff ? ....

We were the ones taking care of Star, even if it was drizzling, we will still walk Star ourselves (Star has his own raincoat).

The maid only need to change the water dish (most of the times done by me as she pretend to forget), poured out the roast pork rice on Star's dish (usually done by my wife) and also bring him out to pee (lasting 3-5mins) before Star sleeps.

You might want to complain to a magistrate and hopefully get police to investigate?

You can also check out CAP. No. 224 (Penal Code), Section 425 and 428 of the Singapore Statutes.

Thanks Gem, you are good in these laws thingy.

Unfortunately the Police told me this is not a criminal act so they will just play supporting roles to AVA. I have read throught Cap 224, Section 425 & 428 but AVA guy told me this is not mischief. :(

Frankly speaking, I have lodged a report on my possessions in my car being stolen while my car was in traffic police compound under their care since year 2003 but until now still no news and the police officer investigating this case already gone.

Why does the maid keep on blaming the guard?

Was there evidence that she, the dog and the guard were at the lift lobby?

Did only the maid and the guard enter the lift, with the dog outside?

Or was the maid and the dog only at the lift lobby, the guard already inside the lift, and only the maid entered?

The guard close the door, hanky-panky started.

The third floor call for the lift and the dog got hanged.

The maid can only says its the guard's fault, because she cannot give the full story.

Just my 2cents worth, exploring the other possibilities.

The guard was on the 3rd floor, so the maid pushed the blame saying is the guard making the lift goes up to the 3rd floor. It was weird, the lift carriage was on the 1st floor and she stepped in, so she has the priority to stop the lift in any mode (pressing open button, using hand to block the sensor etc) even if the guard pressed for the lift.

I do hope AVA has the intelligence to analyse this portion as the way they discussed this matter with me, they seem to hint otherwise and when I questioned them, all they did was to reply 'I don't know', so fair enough since they do not know anything now, let them investigate and come out with an answer. If to be objective, they cannot even discussed this matter with me and giving all sorts of hints first since they can only reply 'I don't know' at this point of time.

My condolences.....

I'm not surprised that the authorities are not willing to do much. Very cunning of your maid indeed.

She is really cunning, she knew the SG laws protect them well and our country are 'afraid' of their country. Hopefully this time round our authorities will not proved her right by protecting people like her at fellow s'poreans' expenses.

Hey, this is odd. The maid could have, and should have, been arrested for sec 428 cap 224 [mischief by killing an animal]. Usually in cases involving animals the Police will investigate, but with inputs from AVA after examining the said animal [alive or otherwise].

What were you told exactly? Maybe you could write in to the Division concerned. What did AVA tell you as well? Are investigations ongoing?

AVA is leading the investigations now. AVA and Police told me this can be an accident too. The maid is smart, she knew by pretending it is an accident and she was too stunned to do anything, nothing much can be done to her. But I do hope our relelvant authorities will proved her wrong this time, but who knows....sigh..... :-(

I think you should consult a lawyer.

I think maybe in the end you should use your lawyer to sue her on your own.

Patapon SG

come on. its your responsibility to look after your dog. u brought the dog and not your maid who brouht it. stop pushing every fault to your maid as if you are not guilty.

you are to be blamed for the death of the dog.

BadzMaro SG

Dont worry. All dogs go to heaven.

But , its pretty brutal death for the dog though. Yelping helplessly while being choked.. strangled.. uplifted some more.. OUCH!

Firstly, it is a nice dog. My friends have 2 of those and I know how close you must be to the dog because my friends treat them better than she treats us.

If the maid does it on purpose, she must be punished just that any person who abuses stray cats, they are punishable by the law. But however the law gives the benefit of the doubt to the accused unless you can prove otherwise. And up till now, what you can provide is that you FEEL that the maid does it on purpose. How do you REALLY KNOW she was not really stunned? Assumptions and accusations made in the moment of anger and grief are not going to help at all, I am afraid.

Leave it the authorities to investigate. If they say, it is an accident, It is an accident. By telling us you feel otherwise is not going to change things and honestly, we should be fair to the maid too because she doesnt have the privilege to come to Sgforums and tell us her side of the story.

Meanwhile, do take care and I believe your dog has gone to a place where there is no more suffering.

so you are saying the maid is absolve of all fault? that the owners are 100% guilty of negligance that led to the death of the dog?

Stimulatedfib SG

Y'know, an incident like this makes "cruelty to maids" appealing. X)

BadzMaro SG

i can just imagine a conspiracy. Knowing the dog loyal to the owner, only way to take out the dog.. is by an accident. ;p

Now all the secrets, dies with the dog.. at the lift.

Tiggerific SG

I see... and I am genuinely sorry for the tragic loss of your dog. I hope that you do understand that all possibilities have to be considered in investigations, and that includes a possible accident resulting in your dog's death, even if there might be reasonable grounds for you to believe otherwise.

Hopefully the investigations can bring more details to light.

Merczrox SG

OMG.The maid should die the same way as the poor helpless dog.I think if ever i see the maid,i would chop her alive into pieces.I am uttery at an loss for words.My deepest sympathy to your beloved dog and may it rest in peace.

Y K SG

I hope they do go to Heaven....BadzMaro.....thanks for your kind words.

That's my observations on her actions immediately after the incident and the next day which made me suspected she was not stunned. I never said 101% that she was not stunned as everyone entitled to analyse it. I did not made accusations (a pretty strong word from you), just sharing what has happened and what she could do during the incident and also how she reacted after the incident. That's all.

I have even considered this is an accident and no choice but if you see the way she reacted and the way she quoted she was protected by SG law, that's why I hope the law will shown her what is justice.

We did gave her opportunities to explain what happened after the incident, in front of many people, in front of the maid agency, but she only has one sentence which is the security guard is at fault. Maybe you know why she never want to tell her side of story except saying it is the security guard fault......

I did mentioned I am leaving it to the authorities to investigate and waiting for outcome.

Thanks for your kind words, I hope Star did went to a place where there is no more suffering according to you, thank you for that.

Y K SG

Hopefully the investigations can bring more details to light.

Yes, that's why I hope to find out exactly what happened then by engaging the relevant authorities for investigations. If this is an accident, then this is Star's fate but if it is a mischief act, then no matter how heavy or light the punishment is, still have to let the person know this is a law govern country, the SG law doesn't protect her if she did something wrong. This are 2 things we try to achieve by engaging the relevant authorities.

It was her reactions and things she did after the incident (warm shower, air-conditioner, hot coffee, breakfast, expressionless on the cctv clip and blaming the security guard etc) prompted us to get suspicious as not a single apology even it is an accident.

Y K SG

Thanks Merczrox. Hope the relevant authorities will be able to find out what exactly happened that night.
