New Rule #2: If you can't treat your maid like a human being, then you don't deserve one

I thought last week's report on maid abuse took the cake but it appears that it is an ongoing saga!! Yet another 'employer'...I'd characterise them as slave-owners...has been charged with maid abuse. Well, I say if you can't treat your employees like human beings then you don't deserve the services of other human beings. You should be booted out of human society. An alternative punishment for domestic worker abusers is to serve out an appropriate length of time as a domestic worker. Then maybe you'll understand and emphathise with other human beings?

Barbarity

Today's news about the abject cruelty and barbarity of the atrocity committed on yet another maid by a Singaporean family really takes the cake! The lengths that some Singaporeans will go to to inflict pain and suffering on others really makes me wonder if we have any sense of humanity at all in this country. Siblings who, with cruel deliberation wrenched the teeth out of their Indonesian maid's mouth with a pair of pliers. One wonders at the sociopathic tendencies of the General Public as more and more of the incidents are highlighted in the press.
The punishment for this completely callous act should fit the crime. Is 20 months in prison a sufficient deterrent? Will the offenders be caned? They certainly should be! If we can inflict caning on overstayers and vandals....surely barbarians such as these deserve far worse?
