Rajamanickam Suresh Kumar, 35-years-old, was found guilty of one count of assault and one count of using criminal force on his maid, Indian national Vadivel Gowthami.
He was sentenced to one year imprisonment on 17 August.
What happened?
The maid started working for Rajamanickam in April 2018, earning $400 per month.
She works 6 days per week at his Jurong West flat, cleaning and cooking as part of her household chores.
The maid stated that she felt tired every day, complaining to her agent that she wanted to return India.
The agent then told Rajamanickam’s wife about it and the wife then approached the maid, telling her to direct all her complaints to her, not the agent.
Rajamanickam returned home drunk on 18 October 2018.
The maid then went to prepare thosai for him in the kitchen.
She then placed a bowl of “chutney” on the dining table before returning to the kitchen, looking for the spatula that she was using to make the meal.
She then realised that he was holding the spatula next to her, before he then used it to burn her left forearm.
He then left the kitchen while the maid continued cooking before going to bed.
Rajamanickam then came home drunk again the next day, at around 10.30pm, and asked the maid about where is his daughter.
The maid told him that she was at his mother in law’s home, to which he told her to being her home.
The maid then refused because it was past her working hours.
The man then told her: “Since MOM informed you to sleep at 10pm, why are you still awake?”
He then pushed her into her room by pulling her left wrist, before closing the door.
The maid complained to her husband about what happened, and he told her to come back to India.
The maid then informed the police about the incidents on 21 October 2018.

A Certis Cisco officer who went viral in 2019 for executing a flying kung-fu kick at an PMD rider who was escaping from them, was officially fired by Certis Cisco.
The errant rider was sent flying from his PMD and sustained injuries.
The officer, Kishok Kumar Ragu, was suspended on 11 December 2019, while investigations into the incident were being carried out.
Activist Gilbert Goh shared a story of an uncle that he met working at a hawker centre, collecting 10 cents entry fee at the entrance of the toilet as part of his job.
He shared that the uncle is earning roughly about $50 a month and struggling to survive.
Some days he sleeps in the streets around Waterloo Street, although it isn’t clear if he is homeless.
Here is the full story:
“This skinny-to-bone elderly helps to look after a public tiolet by collecting 10 cents for every entry once weekly so that he can earn $50/monthly in order to survive.
I saw him once sleeping rough at Waterloo Street and gave him our bedding aid so he can rest better. It’s unsure if he is totally homeless as sometimes they sleep rough for a temporary season due to personal reasons.
He loiters around the hawker centre frequently and usually he is one of our regular food aid recipient whenever we are there.
He would sit at one corner waiting for some stranger to bless him with food or small cash.
He told me that he couldn’t work much nowadays due to his weak heart and he does look very skinny and frail.
We will place him on our $100/monthly elderly support scheme so that he has something to fall back on.
We also encourage readers to buy an extra meal whenever you are eating at a hawker centre patronised by many elders so that you can bless a hungry one out there.
You will surely make their day – including yours!
Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.”
