SINGAPORE - A maid who punched and slapped a 101-year-old woman under her care was sentenced to 20 weeks' jail on Friday (March 28). Aye Aye Aung, who also put tape over the elderly woman's mouth to mask her screams, pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntarily causing hurt to a vulnerable person. Assistant Public Prosecutor Chye Jer Yuan said closed-circuit television camera footage dated Feb 23, 2024, captured multiple abuses by Aye Aye Aung that lasted for about 30 minutes. She punched the elderly woman in her waist, which caused her to wail in pain, before tying her hands to the bed railings. She restrained the victim by kneeling on the woman's chest with her full body weight. After the victim cried out in pain, Aye Aye Aung taped up her mouth to stop her from wailing. APP Chye said: «At this juncture, the victim was so afraid of the accused that she raised her hand to defend herself from the accused.» The maid then repeatedly slapped the woman's face while she was changing her feeding tube.
