A youth not only spat on his family’s domestic helper and threw a metal mug at her face, leaving her with injuries, but also told her that she was “only a maid, was poor and had no right to be in Singapore”.
Ng Jia Sheng, 20, pleaded guilty on Tuesday (June 2) to using criminal force on Ms Estabillo Soledad Agustin in 2018, as well as causing her grievous hurt by a rash act endangering her personal safety.
He also admitted to using insulting words on the 41-year-old Filipino that caused her alarm, which is an offence under the Protection from Harassment Act.
Two other charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing on a later date.
The court heard on Tuesday that Ms Agustin has returned to her home country.
According to court documents, Ng and Ms Agustin were involved in a dispute at Ng’s family home along Greenwood Avenue in Bukit Timah on June 7, 2018. She was employed as a maid by Ng’s mother at that time.
