A 34-year-old Indonesian woman was arrested on Monday at a HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, after allegedly threatening her elderly female employer with a knife.

The incident happened on June 3 when the 70-year-old employer asked her domestic worker to prepare some ingredients for a dish the employer wanted to cook, the Shin Min Daily News reported.

Aware that it was Ramadan, the elderly woman decided to cook for herself, but asked the Indonesian maid to prepare her some ingredients. After hearing the request, the maid lost her temper. picked up and pointed a 15-centimeter kitchen knife at the woman, asking if she needed it for her “preparation.”

Although the employee later calmed down and put down the knife, the employer was startled and called the police, who took the maid away for further questioning.

  1. I wish to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular challenge. As a result of looking out throughout the the web and finding principles which were not productive, I assumed my life was over. Being alive minus the approaches to the difficulties you’ve sorted out all through your blog post is a serious case, and the kind which could have in a negative way affected my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your site. Your actual know-how and kindness in playing with all the things was useful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not discovered such a stuff like this. I can also at this point relish my future. Thanks for your time very much for your professional and effective guide. I will not think twice to refer the website to any person who desires direction about this topic.

  2. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
