Ng Jia Sheng, 20, pleaded guilty on Tuesday (June 2) to using criminal force on Ms Estabillo Soledad Agustin in 2018, as well as causing her grievous hurt by a rash act endangering her personal safety.
Ng admitted to insulting his helper by saying that she was “only a maid, was poor and had no right to be in Singapore”. He spat on her and even threw a metal mug at her which caused injuries to her face.
Two other charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing on a later date.
Ms Augustin has returned to her home country.
A doctor at Tan Tock Seng Hospital who examined her found that she had suffered from multiple facial injuries, including a fracture on her nose.
For causing grievous hurt by a rash act endangering the personal safety of others, Ng can be jailed for up to four years, or fined up to $10,000, or both.
He can also be jailed for a maximum of three months, or fined up to $1,500, or both, for using criminal force on a person.
