A MOTHER and daughter pair have been accused of abusing their Indonesian maid.
Housewife Kassiammal V. Sinnathamy, 66, was charged on Tuesday with stepping on Ms Tarinah's hands while she was folding clothes in a bedroom at their Choa Chu Kang Crescent flat in mid-May last year.
Chandrakala Govindarajoo, 32, a freelance administration executive, allegedly grabbed the 24-year-old maid's left arm, dragged her to the floor, stepped on her left arm, kicked her back and slapped her face on June 16 last year.
She faces another charge of hitting Ms Tarinah's head twice with a white plastic bowl in mid-April.
Their lawyer, Mr Rajan Supramaniam, has made representations on their behalf and is awaiting a reply.
Their case will be mentioned on March 16.
If convicted, they face a jail term of up to three years and/or a fine of $7,500 per charge.

That's why, I am told the Americans are loud. If they are soft and docile they would be ignored in daily life.
The DFW is in a inferior position to the employers, who know that the DFW is helpless and in their power. Some FDW can defend themselves, and do. But many must have the law to protect them against voilence from seeming educated people.
