I think its damning evidence on the video that she did it on
purpose. She couldnt be that stupid or blind to realise that the
dog wasnt in the lift yet or in front of her. Maybe its hard to
prove in the court of law, but negligence is DEFINITELY there!
Perhaps she's a Muslim and do not like dogs because of certain
restrictions. She should brought it up. However even God states
that man should treat animals humanely cause they are lesser
beings, without the same thought process like we humans do.
A civil suit could do small justice. Sue her and make her
peniless in Singapore or her whole lifetime. Not enough, but with
some media attention it can raise awareness that not all maids in
Singapore deserve kindness and there are some who takes kindness
for weakness.
This is what I have thought too especially her actions at home
after this incident, I wonder how can a person under shocked will
be able to turn on water heater, test the water temperature and
have a warm shower followed by turning on the air conditioner and
sleep? And worst still, not feeling apologetic at all the next day
and made herself a cup of hot coffee and have her breakfast whereas
me and my wife did not even had our breakfast at all.
Maybe we treat her too well and always let her have her meals
before us and maybe becos of this, she transformed herself as
employer instead......
I do not know why she smiled happily and said no problem when
she saw Star's photos and we told her that at times she will need
to take care of Star when my wife and me are tied up with work or
the baby. We did not set the expectations wrongly as during the
interview, 2 staff at the maid agency were present too.
