On 29th April 2009, at 10pm Singapore time, My
beloved son, Star, (a Siberian husky dog) was brought down by this maid
to pee before his sleep but today when returning back to home from the
pee, the maid entered the lift and closed the lift door with Star still
outside the lift and Star was brutally pulled up and hanged at the top
side of the lobby lift door being choked by his collar. The maid did
not informed me immediately so that I can go down to the lobby
immediately to save him, instead she sat on the 3rd floor (I lived on
the 2nd floor)and gave wrong information to the security guard doing
his rounds on the 3rd floor by saying Star is under the lift hole
instead of hanging at the ground floor, therefore the security guard
has to inform the condo management committee to get permission to call
the civil defence for the rescue. It was about 20mins before 3rd floor
neighbor came and alerted me and I went up to the 3rd floor with the
maid shifting the blame to the security guard saying he was the one
making the lift went up to the 3rd floor (this maid is cunning, during
the afternoon about 4pm, she was complaining to my mom about my dog and
wishing him to die soon when my dog never bothered, bark or bite her at
all. She knew my dog leashed is those flat nylon retractable type
running 3m long, so if she went to the 2nd floor, my dog will not be
hanged and if she went to the 4th floor, the leashed will snapped and
my dog will not died, so this maid chose to goes up to the 3rd floor).
After a while, the security guard went down to wait for the civil
defence and found my dog hanging at the ground floor lift door and he
informed me quickly, when I rushed down to the lift lobby, Star was
dead hanging there :-(
She has so many ways to save Star (Pressing the 'Open' button, used
her hand to block the lift door sensor, borrowed a pair of scissors
from the 3rd floor neighbors to cut the leash, press the 1st floor
button for the lift to go down immediately) and yet she did nothing at
all.
I was saddened to see Star dead hanging there with white foam and
blood hanging from his mouth. I hold him and my neighbor unlock the
collar and I brought him down immediately but he has no more heart beat
already. :-(
He was hanged at 10:08pm and dead at about 10:19pm Singapore time
(based on the CCTV recording time) and yet the maid still trying to
defend herself saying she has nothing to do with it when I bought her
to watch the CCTV on the next day. She regarded the CCTV capture on
Star struggling for 11mins before passing away as another episode of a
TV drama.
Initially she used the excuse saying it was the security guard's
fault and she was too stunned to do anything but when Star was dead for
after an hour, she can returned home turning on the water heater, test
the water temperature, have a warm shower, combed her hair and then
turn on the airconitioner (I let her have her own room instead of those
storeroom, and also allowed her to turn on the aircondition as she has
mentioned she can't sleep in hot weather even with fan, and she doesn't
closed the room door as she said if closed the door, the airconditioner
will gets too cold to sleep) and went to bed, the next morning, she
woke up (I did not slept the whole night) like nothing has happened,
made her hot coffee, took her breakfast and sit there relaxing. Her
duty at my home was to mop the living once in the morning and once at
night and hand washed 3 set of baby clothes and the daytime she was
sleeping at my mom-in-law's home even though she was supposed to take
care of my baby girl, she lied to my mom saying she has too much work
at my home so my mom allowed her to sleep. Imagine she took 1.5hours to
mop a 300sqft living room in the morning and I have to wait for her to
get ready to go to my mom-in-law's place and we got back home at 7+pm a
night, so how busy can she gets when my mom-in-law is the one cooking
for the maid to eat during weekdays and I am the one cooking for her
during weekend.
I have regard her as a family member, buying nice clothing for her
and her son in Jakarta, buying her favourite Ya Kun kaya toast and
coffee every weekend, consulted her what she likes to have for her
meals and her favourite is mutton, chicken rice, mee soto and cod fish,
I bought those for her
too. When she asked for a higher salary as she mentioned she has
6yrs of experience in Singapore, I gave her the salary without
negotiating and I have even bought those $10 calling cards for her
(fully paid by me) to call her family
every 1.5-2weeks. I noticed she enjoyed gambling a lot, never failed
to bet on 4D, ToTo, lottery etc. When it came to work, she damaged
quite a number of household stuff and furniture yet I still did not
raised my voice with her at all but yet she murdered my Star. My
friends, relatives and colleagues consoled me saying Star blocked a
tragedy for my baby girl from this maid but I still cannot accept that
he was murdered in this manner. Star is so human like and he even went
to lick my baby girl when she falls down while walking and the maid
just stand there laughing whenever my girl falls down. Imagine a
Siberian husky whom did not get jealous on my baby girl and still
protects her like an older brother but yet the maid as a human being
cannot match that. He will rushed to the kitchen to get me to tend to
my girl when she woke up from her sleep too...
I am trying to send in the evidence and statement of the security
guard to MOM, hopefully this time round they will protect employers
like us.
I sincerely hope none of the good employers here will hired her and
let future tragedies happened (she may targets young kids and let them
injured or drowned in the pool and pretend is a mishap), this post is to cautious potential employers from facing the same mishap.
My condolences......
poor husky
can report it to spca?
get them to help prosecute the maid or do something?
struggling for 11 minutes before dying in such a manner is.....................
Thanks Meat Bao.
TehJarVu, I have reported to the MOM, police and AVA, SPCA cannot do anything as advised by them. Police doesn't seem keen and AVA currently investigating, hopefully they will bring justice to Star and also let the maid know this is a law governing country.
These are some posts in other overseas forums
discussing about as well as the local Chinese newspaper website which
reported about Star's death:

For the first 2 links to the overseas forums,
please do take note that there is a cctv video capture (the playback is
in fast forward mode as the cctv recorder is faulty) which shown how
Star been killed, please do not view if you are not able to take such
scenes (I did not view it as I may breakdown and it is our friend whom
help to post it up to show how cruel the maid is).
Why not post the pic of the maid here? Or somewhere public for that matter?
Then all can see and know who NOT to employ.

Yes you can view the pictures in the links above.
The CCTV video capture is in fast forward mode as the CCTV recorder is faulty. :( It is linked in Youtube.
Hopefully the relevant authorities will prove that our country is a law governing country whereby everyone is equal.

it's ok la. it's not apparent unless one clicks the link
Just like to update that MOM has placed this maid in their monitoring list and what she has done will be shared with potential employers applying work permit for her and it will be up to the employer whether to proceed with applying her work permit.
Long time ago, my black doberman suddenly grew weak and couldn't stand on his feet. At that time the PPD vet at Kg Jawa Road, said that the dog was most probably having internal bleeding. Possible cause - rat poison.
We had a Thai maid then. And she detest black animals. She left left soon after the dog died. We had great suspicion she was the culprit.
Domestic workers sometimes find pets a bane to look after, so...
The police can't be bothered.
Tat's y i hate indo maid~~ Take things for granted n once they do wrong they wun admit their wrongs n give so many bloody excuses and claim that they r right. Luckily we r all still alive although my maid n grandma going to cause my granduncle death sooner or later. Hes coughin like mad still will buy coke like 5 cans can't b bothered to hide it put infrt of him. Being insane as he is he jus take watever is on e table n drank it down or go to e fridge n take e drinks himself.
When dey bring him down for a stroll cum donno how many cigarettes shes givin him. Then come up already paster my grandma for more ciggis. She gave him say that hes to annoying. That was when he's jus gotten out of hospital due to asthma attack. The funny thing is they keep bringing him go see doc. Sick dun take care gib u see 1m times of doc also no use. Made me luff *Hope he stay longer in hosp or send to mental hospital. At least wun die in the hands of the both of them.
Mine was no better frm you. I made xtra pot of chicken soup for maid n her bf coz they dun take pork when i cook pai gu lian ou tang etc that contains pork. Or pizza i order still will share it w em but wat did i have in return..... (Cut long story short) She tells me your not the one that's paying me salary cannot order her to do things. I was like wtf. Doesn't pay to b nice i tell u these ppl should let em @#%!#^^$%^.
Worst thing is my ma n grandma all side her say its sm matter dun bother my ma abt such a small thing.
(Em refers to her and her bf/husband*reg in indo* is staying w us. YES STAYING W US. Coz she told my grandma sobs stories. Hes a malay sg)
My condolence to your doggie.Its protecting your baby gurl coz it knows that e maid has an evil heart. Nxt time bring ur dog out urself To prevent something like tis frm happening. Keep it in your heart and tell how ur husky protected ur baby when she's young that's e least you could do is pass on his legacy. ![]()
Another drama for another time.
Good luck w ur new maid. I'm gettin a new one soon too. GL to me also...

I am really sorry for your loss. It sounds like your maid is terrible even though you treat her well. I do really hope you got enough evidence to sack your maid or even better send her to prison.
Your dog or any other animal dont deserve to die like that. They are animals! They are innocent! If its up to me i will make sure she will suffer the same death. Hell, even worse.
I will not get any maid already, a precious live is gone and I do not want anything to happen to my baby. I rather do the housework myself than keeping a timebomb.
Good luck to your new maid though.
this is why i don't have maid and i don't have dog

My friend over there helped to post to these forums and the other kind folks over there mentioned they will help to spread too after reading the posts. I hope there will not be another similar casualty caused by this maid anywhere in this world.
My sincere thanks to you for helping to spread the words to prevent another mishap caused by this maid.

I really wish for you to get a good worker, it is tough for you, I can understand how you feel :(
When I get this maid, she has 6yrs of working experience with one employer in Singapore before and she has to take the lift daily for that 6yrs in Singapore. This puzzled me why she doesn't used her hand to block the lift doors when she has been doing that when I first moved into this new place and I even asked her how come she knew how to block the lift sensors and she said proudly that she has been taking lifts many times. :(

Thanks. If Star passed away due to old age or illness, I can accept it but he was gone in such a brutal manner. :(
The youtube clip showed that he was grasping his last breathe by moving his forearms and tail after hanging for few mins :(
Is there anyway or law to get the maid prosecuted for negligence? Or cruelty to animals?
