A 42-year-old Indonesian domestic worker was charged with one count of burglary at Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Apple Daily reports that the defendant, Sri Handayani, is accused of entering a flat in Park Avenue, a residential building in Kowloon’s Tai Kok Tsui, on September 22, with intent to steal.
The court heard that, at an earlier date, the defendant was asked by her employer to take a family member who lives in Park Avenue home. However, she did not return the key, instead keeping it to sneak back into the flat on September 22.
The defendant did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody. Headline Daily reports that the trial will be continued on December 18 pending further police investigations and legal advice.
The reports did not mention any loss caused by the burglary.
So her fault is didnt give back the key
Was not a big issue if no lose because she didn’t mean to do so they are uneducated didnt know how to ecplain and defence so easily the judge dimsiss this case and sentence her 1 month later she will overstay i don’t think so she will go back to indonesia unless immigration send her back
Just say lack of knowledge or not train well than an educated ,to be a helper u dont need to be professional or very well educated
Correct..
Cruz Mejasco Mariel …..they have language problem too they don’t really speak Cantonese and english well there agent in indonesia just give them little bit language practice send them to hk because i know all this
Had 2 Indon helpers before and yes they steal ! There’s something about them and stealing .
Geo Shan Sa but most of them are really good in cantonese ,anyway hope she figure it out this prob of her.
Be more responsible
Geo Shan Sa that’s true…
It’s unfair for them… I hope her agency/ embassy will help her..
Simple case though
please don’t be prejudice and generalized like that , it’s not about education or language , it’s about integrity , and every each person are different , whatever your nationality is ,
this kind of comments really offensive
if you think you are all educated enough , please be compassionate and keep your opinion to yourself
thank you
The other they report about how the maid sacrifice her own safety to help her employer son ,,she was a hero but the reports didn’t mention her name at all,and now because the
maid did something wrong and the report write the name in full and very clearly,,,,, do you think it fair? It’s really suck full off racist
Not all Indonesian steal,,there many Filipino steal even more,,
There so many report about it and I didn’t see u’r comments
I really want a baby ,i had experience miscarriage two times already.
Why they don’t just give it to me
The employer must show evidence of any loss. This is the oroblem with the cruel employers, once the maid dont want them or they are not satisfy with the oerformance of the helper then they will give troubke to their maid. Why the employer did not ask to give back they or this is already their plan.
How could you say that many ??!!!!you are insinuating something don’t be a judgemental dude
How can they say burglary if they had given her the key and nothing was lost! I think there`s a set-up in this incident… Be careful people; God is watching us.
Geo Shan Sa ..we really don’t know what happen on this..just don’t judge others..it’s not how educated the person is..its her choice to do this..im sure she didn’t reach hongkong with out any education in Indonesia..
and I’m sure they can spell (explain)(dismiss)and (defense) very well..????????????
Filipino or indonesian all is the same who like to steal or not that all in our self … So don’t bully one to another we All.same domestic helper and we stay here only for earn more money …. Not for bullying each other
Before you tell others that they are uneducated, u must know how to fix the simple spelling and grammar of your sentence like (there and their)
Just saying…
How come they charged her with burglary if there`s no missing items in the house?
Don’t drink coffee and beer it’s contsin caffeine
In pregnancy women can’t take more then 200 grams of caffeine
If you were telling me i mean their agent was auto typing mistake but i am stil uneducated as well just secondary 2 you looks educated so don’t pay attention to grammar pay attention to the charge they put on her is totally unacceptable
THE BEST COMENT EVER, TO WHOM EDUCATED MUST BE BEHAVE WISELY, OTHERWISE, WILL DEGRADE YOUR HIGHT LEVEL EDUCTION.AS UNEDUCATED ONES.
Geo Shan Sa and you better pay attention to your judgemental attitude towards others
I’m more concerned about your statement and the word you have used "uneducated " that’s the point I am trying to clear here thats all.
Geo Shan Sa how say? I am indonesia too but i can speak in cantonese very well also in ingglish.
Lei J. Roni agree.did he know very well about indonesian???
Actually asia times the one issuing everything stop this news from asia times
the best comment ive ever read in this article…and yes,you are right
For my understanding… the employer ask the helper to send the family member in the flat but she did not gave back the key afterwards and few days later she get in the house with out their knowledge that is already against the law. no wonder she got into trouble. It’s very clear that she is up to something.
whoaaa ….ayoko s kapwa ko pilipino ngcocomments s mga ganito ung iba judgemental …. we dont really know what happened…. so…dont comment and judgmntal….. may isang comment dyan n sinabi nya kasi indo n my ugali ang mga indo n magnanakaw hay dapat d ka ganyan mgcomment kasi khit kapwa ntin pilipino may ganyan din… naku…. but not in generally….
And im just wondering if is she really a burglar? She might went back to the house for other reasons ( forgot something or just want to return the key?) Then just accused her? This news is not in whole details so we don’t really know………
You are right…stealing is not because you are Filipino or Indonesians…there are different people in ths world…it just happen to ths news and this country that their helpers are either Indo or Fil..so they call them thief..sad to say…
Tama po yan..marami ring mga Indonesians na mababait…..nagkataon lng na ito ang news…
Lei J. Roni this is not about spelling it’s about integrity please be compassionate and not prejudice, no offense spread love
Is not a big issue because dont have things lost inside the house of her employer.we dont have right to judge to any person because all is not same.by the way i have more friends indo and i notice all is good even sometimes cant speak clear english but we can understand each other.and mistake of her employer because she dont have trust of her helper.only god knows all about happend just we put in our mind we are all same because we both same we are a human.
If only giving the key will solve her problem and free her from accusation. My friends had accused stole their employer things, such as handhpone, watch, n jewelry, but they proven clean. Their employer forgot where they kept it. And they never even say sorry for their wrongly accused. Just becos they are boss, they hv money so they can threat us as they like.
What th heck the employers are! ,just forgot to return the key,! She’s be charged of burglary? A suppect remain a suspect until proven guilty! Due process should apply!
Language is not a hindrance or a problem if they give her an interpreter so that she can explain and defend her side. Or maybe they just listen only to the victim not the accuser??? We really don’t know whats happened.
Cruz Mejasco Mariel well said sister…
The housemaid maybe have fault but so as the employer!!!
She clearly knew that the housemaid didn’t return the key for whatever reason,why didn’t she ask for it?
Ms.Shei sorry for commenting but ms firakui was insulted coz of the comments above thats why she said it like that!maybe nxt time don’t say words that hurt someone if you don’t like that they will throw it back to you!
Shei Ilarde Cepe im living with Filipino for two years,she’s not good towards me or our employer but I never said that Filipino is bad,coz I know there many other still good,so don’t judge everyone character just because of one person doing something bad,if u know what I mean,thanks
JheeKnee AbLang Borja thanks for your comments
It was her fault not return the key to her employer , and since I don’t know what’s her intension come back to that house,, she was accused of stealing but the report didn’t said what’s was lost, I hope she’s fine
Asia times you are not fair if good deeds done by the helpers you did not put the name and nationality.But if bad but not yet proven as guilty you put the complete name and nationality.Pls be fair
I have a Indonesian friend before and she do really steal from her employer I’ve warn her and tell her to stop. But it seems like she very confident with her action. Things she steel are red pocket money, old phone that are stuck for a long time, beauty product and the last one was money and she was so proud and told us that she got it from her ma’am wallet. I don’t know where she is now we haven’t seen her for a long time. But I swear she has shown no fear about stealing. And I was like what the ****????
