S'pore mother jailed for burning maid<\/p>\n
SINGAPORE: A doctor turned consultant was sentenced to four
\nmonths in a Singapore jail after admitting to burning her
\nIndonesian maid's arm with an iron, it was reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Lim May Ling, 42, initially faced eight other charges of
\nabusing Lilis Suryani, 20, but these accusations were withdrawn,
\nThe Straits Times said.<\/p>\n
District Judge Valerie Thean was told on Monday the maid had
\nbeen ironing clothes on March 17 last year when Lim asked her to
\nhelp carry some bags.<\/p>\n
When she returned, Lim scolded Lilis for leaving the hot iron
\nunattended while her three children were in the apartment
\nalthough the maid had switched the iron off.<\/p>\n
When the maid said it was not dangerous, Lim placed it on her
\nforearm to show \"it was still hot\", the court heard. The maid was
\ntreated at Singapore General Hospital.<\/p>",
