Some S$206,000 raised for family of late Myanmar domestic worker abused to death in S'pore
Public moved to give as the case is resumed before the courts.
People in Singapore and beyond have donated S$206,565.40 to the family of the late 24-year-old Myanmar domestic worker who was abused to death by her employers here in 2016. Posted in the mothership.sg.
A young innocent girl from Myanmar, probably first time left her home and country, to work as a domestic maid in Singapore. Alone, she was left in the home of her employers, total strangers to her, just like any other maids. Many were luckier to have decent and some very warm employers that welcomed them in their homes to work, and share their lives.
In the case of Nu Piang Ngaih Don, she was beaten, chained to the window grill next to the toilet and slept there for about a year. She was starved and lost about half her weight, from about 40kg to about 20kg when she died from her injury. Can you imagine a year of daily beating, pain and suffering, fear, loneliness, hungry, cold, without anyone to turn to, to talk to? And this cruelty was dealt to her in a home in Singapore, a couple and their mother were the devils that ill treated this poor child.
I cannot imagine the deep pain and despair this hapless girl had to go through, day and night, for a year. This is how cruel human beans can be. The perpetrators of her tragic life are now charged and waiting for judgement and punishment by the courts. I still cannot accept that this could happen for so long and the poor soul had to suffer for so long, alone, crying silently in the corner of the kitchen floor. There was no one to turn to, no one there for her, to help her. May the devils be made to pay heavily for her suffering and tragic premature death. The cruelty was so sickening.
