SINGAPORE, Aug 16 — Some migrant domestic workers in Singapore face “revenge accusations” by their employers, usually of theft, but they cannot work until the matter is resolved even if it is baseless, a report said.
The report cited the high-profile case of maid Parti Liyani who was accused by her well-connected employer of theft, which led to criminal charges and a conviction before an appeal court cleared Parti. The shelter is home to workers who are in the process of seeking legal recourse or resolving disputes with their employers, and its residents may stay for periods of a few days to over a year, Home’s website states.
Case studies outlining the experience of three such women were included in the report to highlight what Home called the “legal and social vulnerability experienced by migrant domestic workers in Singapore”.One of them, listed as ‘R1’ in the report, decided to seek help at Home’s shelter after having been refused repatriation to her home country by her employer for a year.
After R2 ran away to seek help at Home’s shelter, her employers “hounded” her to compensate them for her plane tickets to Singapore and an additional penalty for leaving without notice.A week into her stay at the shelter, R2’s employers filed a police report claiming that she stole missing items.
