Don't Abuse the Maid

A 29-year-old mother of three, Sazarina Madzin, was convicted of abusing her 22-year-old Indonesian maid, Wiwik Setyowati, on numerous occasions.

From TheStar.com:

Sazarina would hit her over the slightest mistake made -- with a tomato sauce bottle, chopping board, thermometer, anything she could get her hands on. Failing that, she would use her bare hands and feet to slap, punch, kick and pinch the maid.

According to Sazarina, the maid was lazy, abusive, dressed indecently at home and did not take proper care of her three children, aged seven to 12.

Jeez! Lazy, abusive, dressed indecently, doesn't take care of the kids? I thought that was the definition of a wife.

Now, when it comes to my maid, Suzette, ooh-la-la! She comes to me in her strappy outfit and regularly requests a little discipline. How's it go? Spare the spanking, spoil the maid?

Nevertheless, Sazarina will likely receive an attention-getter jail term at the sentencing hearing next Wednesday.
