It is pointed out that a Myanmarian domestic helper, who died in Singapore five years ago in an unbelievable state of 24 kg, suffered from violence and hunger by a woman who was a householder, was victimized by surrounding indifference.
According to the Straits Times on the 26th, Myanmar housekeeper Piang Ngai Don, 24 at the time of his death, was examined by doctors twice before he died of violence from a landlord in 2016.
In addition, it turned out that the employment agency that arranged for employment had also consulted twice.
But in the process, no one noticed the pain she was going through.
According to a court document delivered by the newspaper, during the last examination before his death, doctors identified bruises in both eyes and cheeks of Piang Ngai Don.
It is also known to have witnessed slight swelling of both feet.
As this fact emerged during the trial process, responsibility for doctors and job agencies arose.
Some point out that Guyatiri, her husband, a police officer, and the two tenants who lived in the house with her mother may have known the landlord’s abuse.
In response to media questions about what action could be taken against the doctors or tenants who last examined the housekeeper, K. Shanmugam, the Minister of Home Affairs and Attorney General K. Shanmugam, cautioned that it is difficult to say anything because the court ruling in the case has not yet been made. Drunk.
Human Resources Minister Josephine Theo says authorities are reviewing three areas to ensure that this does not recur.
Theo explained that “mechanisms to protect foreign domestic helpers from abusive employers, the reporting system of doctors and the involvement of communities and agencies are three areas.”
Gaiya Thiri, who was previously accused of 28 crimes, including negligence against Pian Ngai Don, admitted the charges at a decision trial on the 22nd.
Accordingly, a life sentence was also made possible.
According to court records, Gaiya Thiri and the policeman’s husband hired Piang Ngai Don, who was then 23 years old, as a housekeeper to care for their children in May 2015.
But Gayatiri has been violent against her almost every day since.
Eventually, Piang Ngai Don died after hours of assault by her in July 2016, a little after a year after working.
It is known that Gayatiri kept the door open to watch the housekeepers, and allowed them to toilet and shower.
Piang Ngai Don was able to sleep only 5 hours at night and received only a small amount of meals, so he weighed only 24 kg at the time of death, the news agency said.
This is more than a third of your weight when you first enter the house.
Gaiyathiri’s husband also faces multiple charges in the case, and the police will be disciplined regardless of the outcome of the trial, Shanmugam said.
