ALL the Indonesian maid wanted was to have a change of
employer.
But Etik Sugiarti had no good reason to give her agent as her
employer had treated her very well since she began work for the
household since October 2009.
So the 23-year-old cooked up a story that her employer's father
had molested her.
She had heard from other domestic helpers that if she had made a
police report alleging outrage of modesty against her, she could
have a change of employer.
Sugiarti admitted giving false information at Bedok Police
Division headquarters on Jan 5 that her employer's 66-year-old
father had molested her between Dec 20 and Jan 5 at a flat in Pasir
Ris.
The petite woman was jailed for eight weeks on Wednesday by
District Judge Lee Poh Choo.
