A former airforce staff sergeant found guilty of abusing his Indonesian maid on several occasions was sentenced to 20 months jail. Tong Chew Wei, 31, who is appealing against conviction, was also ordered to pay his maid $6,480. Tong was convicted of seven charges of causing hurt to Ms Widayanti between December 2006 and February 2007. The maid testified that the physical abuse began 1 1/2 months into her employment at Jurong West Street 65 until she ran away. Tong, she said, had slapped, poked and hit her frequently, using a broomstick. In one incident, he scalded her on the back of her right and left knees.
Tong, who is out on $10,000 bail pending his appeal, could have been jailed for up to 18 months and/or fined up to $1, 500 per charge.

What did he gain for abusing the maid.
He end up getting famous for the wrong reason.
Need to go to jail and or fine a big sum of money.
The morale of the story is to maintain cool while dealing with the maid.
Sometimes, you may feel that they are stupid to do certain things but bear in mind that they are brought up differently and the cultures are different form urban living.
You just need to replace the maid or go about doing without them.
No need to abuse them.
LAME !!!!!!!
