Police have arrested a man who intruded into a village chief’s home on Pulau Ubin – the island northeast of Singapore – three times on Sunday evening amid concern for a newly-hired Indonesian maid, who was alone at home.
Indonesian woman Siti Masito, 30, arrived in Singapore last week and had worked for the 72-year-old village chief Chu Yok Choon and his wife for just three days. She was preparing a family dinner in the kitchen at about 6pm on March 11, Lianhe Wanbao (Singapore) reported.
Distracted by some unusual noises, the maid looked up and was shocked to find a man wearing only shorts coming towards her.
The man, reportedly in his forties, did not say a word and walked into the kitchen without an expression, prompting Masito to scream for help.
Three or four villagers who were chatting outside near Chu’s home dashed in and stopped the intruder before dragging him away.
However, the unidentified man returned two more times over the next two hours and had to be chased away by villagers on each occasion.
When the 62-year-old female employer surnamed Yang learned of the incident, she accompanied Masito when she reported the case to police.
A report in the Straits Times said the suspect was arrested on Monday evening, and police were investigating his reasons for intruding into the house.
Reason obvious, isn’t it?
mental case
I agreed with Henry Chang his reason is obvious….
What’s so obvious? Except for perhaps barging into the house shirtless, he neither attacked nor attempted molest to the maid. Most probably mentally disturbed, so why jump to obvious conclusions?
He’s not mentally ill. Why did he dragged the maid then anyone else.
Did he?
nope, he did not drag her
This is what jumping to conclusions mean. Being self righteous does not justify being judgmental. Let’s be the difference to make this world a better place.
read this carefully people.
many of you have jumped to conclusions
its not a national sport you know.
wait for the outcome
Why not wait till the investigation by the police is completed ? ????????????
Read properly lah budo
Obvious of what Henry Chang
