SINGAPORE: A Singaporean mother who admitted to caning her Indonesian maid for mixing towels with other clothes in the washing machine was sentenced to 18 months in prison for a pattern of abusive behavior, a local newspaper reported yesterday.
An anonymous letter tipped off Singapore authorities to Pauline Ang's repeated abuse of Liswiarti Kartono, 24, which included poking her in the forehead until she bled, the Straits Times newspaper said.
