The Verdict

Just found out that my maid was jailed a total of... 3 weeks for her thieving actions. Too little??? I thot so... considering that the maximum sentence would be 7 YEARS!!! 3 weeks seemed like such a short time esp as I mentioned that she was unrepentent and was not guilty @ all. But then again, we did kinda help to plead for leniecy so perhaps that's why the sentence was shortened.

We didn't even know that she has been deported back (although she did call up some time back n told my Dad dat she was @ ICA but my Dad didnt know whether to believe her) until my Dad received a letter from MOM stating that he has breached the bond n that he would hafta pay a fine of $5000!!! He was shocked coz we thought the police mentioned that they would help to inform MOM but apparently they didn't. And MOM wanted a letter stating that the maid was in custody but the police claimed that they do not issue such letters so he was sandwiched in between. Ultimately, the police did give us a letter which stated that she had been jailed for 3 weeks and subsequently all matters were resolved.

Glad the whole thing is over although for a while I kept imagining her sitting on my bed when I came back home @ nite... it was THAT eerie!!! I just hope she has hopefully learnt her lessons and do not cause nitemares to future employers. Better yet, hope she just remains in her village and not get to work overseas anymore!
