Woman: Maid Abused My Elderly Mum Behind My Back

The maid had been looking after her elderly mother for almost two years, and they seemed to get along well.

It never occurred to the daughter, who wanted to be known only as Ms L.C. Ng, that it was all an act.

The reality was that, behind her back, Indonesian national Murni Panengsih, 25, repeatedly abused her 96-year-old mother.

The maid slapped and elbowed her, pulled her hair, and, on one occasion, even stuck medical tape over her mouth before beating her.

The abuse came to light after Ms Ng checked a live feed from closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in the three-room flat in Lavender.

On Monday, Murni was sentenced to 10 months’ jail after pleading guilty to five of 15 charges related to hurting the elderly woman.

Ms Ng told The New Paper yesterday evening: “You would never think that somebody who looks so harmless and acts so sweetly towards your mother could do such evil things behind your back.”

NEVER SUSPECTED

The IT consultant in her 50s said she had never suspected the abuse going on in her home because Murni would “sayang” (Malay for love) her mother whenever she was around, and would even ask to sit next to the old woman at meal times.

“I feel so silly, thinking back. She must have threatened my mother and deliberately kept close to her,” said Ms Ng

She had hired Murni (below) in December 2013 to take care of her mother, who was bedridden and suffered from weak kidneys and diabetes.

Her mother also showed signs of dementia, but was never formally diagnosed.

Her mother died in December last year, following a urinary tract infection, about three months after the abuse was discovered.

Ms Ng had on occasion noticed bruises on her mother’s hands and face, but Murni would feign ignorance when she was questioned about them.

Her mother never said a word about being ill-treated, so Ms Ng thought she must have hurt herself accidentally.

“My mother had previously said that someone was trying to kill her, but she would occasionally imagine things, so my elder brother and I thought she was confused,” said Ms Ng.

“If she had just said something about being ill-treated, we would have done something about it.”

Ms Ng finally found out about the abuse on Sept 17 last year when she decided to check the live CCTV feed on her mobile phone while at work.

She had installed CCTV cameras in the flat a few years ago after a previous maid was discovered to have brought male strangers home.

Ms Ng said she usually checked the live feed once in a while, but had never seen Murni ill-treating her mother until that afternoon when she hit the elderly woman multiple times.

“I phoned her immediately and shouted at her.

“Afterwards, she WhatsApped me to apologise.”

Ms Ng started reviewing past video footage and discovered that Murni had abused her mother on many occasions.

Her brother went to the flat to check, but their mother and the maid both said nothing had happened.

When Ms Ng returned home later that evening, she asked her mother about Murni in the latter’s presence.

“My mother said good things about her, even that she was well-behaved. When I heard that, my heart ached so much,” she said.

“My mother was quite an outspoken woman, and it was beyond my imagination that she would be reduced to that state because she feared (Murni).”

When Murni went to take a shower, Ms Ng told her mother that she knew about the abuse and would make a police report and send the maid away.

“She said, ‘Good. You saved my life.’ Hearing those words was so painful, I don’t know how long she suffered under that woman,” said Ms Ng, who broke down halfway through the interview.

She made a police report the next day.

Her mother was examined at a nearby clinic and the doctor found that she had a black eye, bruising all over her face and arms, an abrasion on her right ear, and swelling and bruising on both ankles.

The medical report said the locations and nature of the bruising were consistent with an assault or repeated violence.

Ms Ng said her mother must have been traumatised because she never spoke of the abuse even after Murni left.

“I can only say that I’m glad Murni got caught so other people will not suffer under her hands.”

My mother had previously said that someone was trying to kill her, but she would occasionally imagine things, so my elder brother and I thought she was confused.

Maid jailed 10 months for ‘reprehensible’ assault

She was never ill-treated or threatened by her employer or her employer’s elderly mother.

Yet she started abusing her elderly charge in May 2014 to vent her frustration.

For that, Murni Panengsih, 25, was jailed for 10 months on Monday after pleading guilty to five out of 15 counts of repeatedly assaulting the sickly woman.

Court documents said that Murni was employed in December 2013 to look after the 96-year-old victim who was bedridden and had several ailments.

The abuse came to light in September last year after her employer, the victim’s daughter, saw her hitting her mother while viewing a live feed from CCTV cameras installed in the flat in Lavender.

Murni was found to have hurt the elderly woman between July 2014 and September 2015, during which she repeatedly slapped, shook and punched the woman all over her face and body.

She even used a water bottle and towel to hit the victim, and on separate occasions forcefully pressed and elbowed her face.

Court documents said that Murni, who was born in central Java, arrived in Singapore in October 2013.

Defence lawyer Diana Ngiam, who acted pro bono for the maid, said psychiatrist John Bosco Lee had diagnosed her to be suffering from adjustment disorder, which had contributed significantly to the offences.

‘COULD NOT CONTROL EMOTIONS’

Murni readily admitted to hitting the victim, and told Dr Lee that she liked her elderly charge but was “not really sure why she did it”, said the forensic psychiatric report.

She also said she was isolated from social and family support since coming to Singapore, and was upset and could not control her emotions at the time.

She added that since the mother returned home after being hospitalised in June last year, she became very noisy at night and was incontinent.

Murni, who shared a room with her, said she was affected by the noise and the smell, and became stressed as she was unable to sleep at night.

Ms Ngiam said that Murni had a very difficult job of having to care for an elderly patient with many problems, but it was no excuse for her to have reacted the way she did.

Murni accepted that her actions were “reprehensible”.

District Judge Low Wee Ping said that what was most disconcerting in the case was the victim’s advanced age.

He said that such elderly victims are unable to comprehend or articulate their distress when harm is inflicted on them by domestic workers.

He also agreed with the prosecution that a deterrent sentence was an important consideration in these cases.

For causing hurt, Murni could have been jailed for up to two years and fined up to $5,000 on each charge.

Yet To Finish School But Already Top Insurance Agents

He cleared his study loan of $19,000 in one lump sum, and has a second-hand black Audi A4 to his name.

Yet, Mr Chew Zhan Lun, 24, graduated only two months ago.

In 2014, while he was studying banking and finance at Nanyang Technological University, he joined Great Eastern as a financial consultant and managed to earn $36,000 in the 2015 financial year.

He had to sit for six Capital Markets and Financial Advisory Services examinations over two months to attain the requirements needed to be a Great Eastern agent from the Singapore College of Insurance.

He then started going door to door selling insurance.

On school days, he would work three nights a week.

During his school holidays, he worked six nights a week, averaging two and a half hours each night. The avid gamer even cut back on playing computer games to focus on his job.

The going was tough at first.

Mr Chew said: “For every one person who said yes, there were nine who said no.”

He soon learnt to take rejection in his stride and he stuck by a policy of not using a hard sell technique.

Instead, he tried to be patient, proving his expertise to potential clients while becoming friends with them. His philosophy? “Not every friend is my client, but every client is my friend.”

Mr Chew had wanted to become a banker, but he joined the insurance industry to gain experience in the financial industry.

He found it a meaningful line of work and, after half a year, he decided to stay on.

He said: “For example, at a funeral, some professions would be asking for payment from the family, but an insurance agent would be the one handing over money.

“This is something I take pride in and I hope to get more recognition for this line.”

Mr Chew has earned praise from his manager, Mr Alan Phua, 30, who said: “Zhan Lun always stood out for his creative and bold ideas… He has impressive potential.

A Great Eastern spokesman said the company is seeing an increasing number of student financial consultants joining their 3,200-strong team, but said that they are unable to provide specific figures.

She said: “From our experience, the young advisers are dedicated, committed and hard-working in their own way.

“They relate well with their peers and hence are able to effectively communicate to them the importance of insurance and the need for early financial planning.”

Mr Chew has his eye on setting up his own agency in the future.

For every one person who said yes, there were nine who said no.

She is only 21, but the final-year business student at the National University of Singapore qualified for AIA’s rising star club in June.

She also received the Top Sales award during her summer internship at AIA last year.

Miss Marissa Fuad puts in about 20 hours a week during her school term and earns between $1,500 and $2,500 a month.

During school holidays, she invests up to 50 hours a week and earns $4,500 to $5,000 a month.

Miss Marissa got interested in financial planning in her first year of university, after attending a career talk by SP-Win, an authorised representative of AIA.

“You learn about the impact you can have on people when you help them with their claims and savings,” she said.

She found that she connected with people her age and was able to explain financial planning to them.

“At the university level, most students do not know much about financial planning, but as someone in this line, you are the go-to person when people have questions,” she said.

SACRIFICES

Juggling her studies with her work came with some sacrifices.

Miss Marissa said she did not have time to indulge in her favourite Korean dramas and Game of Thrones TV series.

Last year, she gave up going to South Korea for an exchange programme as part of her undergraduate business course because it would take place at the same time as her internship programme at AIA.

An AIA spokesman said that agents who are also undergraduates help in getting their peers to understand the importance of financial planning from a young age.

She added: “Some (student consultants) have really excelled and even received commendations, recognitions and promotions to financial services manager (positions) even before they graduate.”

While AIA declined to reveal specific figures, it confirmed that its number of agents who are still students is increasing.

Ms Wong Sze Keed, chief agency officer of AIA Singapore, said: “The job flexibility, strong mentorship and the AIA brand are some key reasons they have cited for joining us.”

At the university level, most students do not know much about financial planning, but as someone in this line, you are the go-to person when people have questions.

– Miss Marissa Fuad

Would you buy from a student agent?

While the number of students also working as financial consultants has been growing, the reception towards them seems to be mixed, judging by responses from people The New Paper spoke to.

Army regular Chia Mui Sowe, 50, whose family owns six insurance policies, would consider buying policies from a student, as long as he is convinced by the terms of the policy.

Mr Chia said: “It doesn’t matter who sells me the policy, as long as it is something I need.”

Undergraduate Nowell Ng, 21, feels that it depends on the agent’s knowledge of the policies.

She said: “I wouldn’t buy from someone who is very new to the job, (regardless of whether he’s a student or not).”

However, undergraduate Yong Zhen Kang said he would think twice about buying from student financial planners as he doubts their long-term commitment to the job.

Mr Yong, 24, who owns one hospitalisation insurance policy, said: “I don’t want (to be in a situation) where I sign up with a student financial planner (and then he) quits after he graduates.”

Enggan Nikah Suami Orang Dilapor Punca Fara Fauzana Batal Kahwin

Tanda tanya di sebalik mengapa personaliti radio Malaysia terkenal, Fara Fauzana, membatalkan perkahwinannya kurang dua minggu sebelum ia dijadualkan berlangsung, nampaknya terjawab sudah.

Fara dikatakan enggan menjadi isteri kedua lelaki tersebut, yang menurut laporan akhbar Harian Metro, merahsiakan daripada Fara bahawa beliau sebenarnya sudah menjadi suami orang.

Akhbar itu, yang memetik sumber yang tidak dinamakan, melaporkan bahawa lelaki berkenaan, Mohamad Hafiz, merupakan ahli jawatankuasa Pemuda UMNO di Lembah Klang.

“SILAP DIA SENDIRI STATUS PERKAHWINAN KANTOI”

Sumber itu memberitahu Harian Metro, semua yang berlaku itu adalah “silap dia (lelaki itu) sendiri” kerana beliau tidak berterus-terang, sehingga status perkahwinannya “kantoi”.

“Silap dia sendiri sebab tak berterus-terang, sepatutnya dia perlu jujur. Akhirnya status perkahwinannya kantoi dengan Fara.

“Dalam perkara ini dia tak boleh sorok. Bukan apa, ia perkara sensitif. Apatah lagi Fara golongan selebriti terkenal. Mahu atau tidak, perkara ini pasti menjadi heboh,” katanya seperti ditukil Harian Metro.

Bagaimanapun, Fara, 36 tahun, mahupun lelaki terbabit belum mengesahkan dakwaan dalam laporan berkenaan kepada mana-mana media.

Bekas penyampai Hot FM itu pada Ahad lalu memaklumkan bahawa pernikahan beliau dengan jejaka tersebut yang sepatutnya berlangsung pada 17 September ini sudah dibatalkan.

BATAL PERKAHWINAN ATAS SEBAB PERIBADI

Menerusi kenyataan media yang dikirimkan kepada BH Online Malaysia, Fara berkata, keputusan membatalkan perkahwinan itu dibuat atas sebab-sebab peribadi yang sukar untuk dikongsi dengan umum.

“Dengan penuh rasa dukacita, saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa hasrat saya untuk menamatkan zaman bujang pada 17 September ini dibatalkan.

“Jujur saya akui, keputusan untuk membatalkan pernikahan ini satu keputusan yang sukar untuk saya,” katanya.

BH Online Malaysia juga menyatakan menurut Fara, keputusan itu dibuat selepas memikirkan perkara itu sebaik-baiknya, selain membincangkan hal berkenaan bersama kedua-dua orang tuanya.

Fara ketika itu menyifatkan perkara yang berlaku sebagai ketentuan Tuhan dan pasti ada hikmah yang menantinya.

“Ketika ini, saya harus mengakui bahawa saya sedang melalui waktu-waktu yang amat sukar dan memerlukan sedikit ruang untuk menenangkan fikiran. Dan saya mungkin tidak dapat menjawab sebarang pertanyaan lanjut daripada rakan-rakan media,” katanya.

Selamat Tinggal Fandi? Pahang Dilapor Berminat

Ikon bola sepak tempatan, Fandi Ahmad, bakal meninggalkan Persatuan Bola Sepak Singapura (FAS).

Ia sekaligus mengosongkan jawatan jurulatih dalam pasukan bola sepak negara sebelum berlangungnya perlawanan Piala Suzuki Persekutuan Bola Sepak ASEAN (AFF) November ini.

Kontrak bekas bintang pasukan Singa itu dengan FAS akan berakhir pada November ini, dan penolong jurulatih pasukan negara itu dipercayai tidak dapat mencapai persetujuan dengan FAS untuk melanjutkan kontrak itu.

FAS AKAN BERTEMU FANDI PADA 8 SEP

Mediacorp difahamkan bahawa FAS akan bertemu dengan Fandi pada Khamis ini (8 Sep) dalam percubaan terakhir untuk mengekalkan legenda bola sepak itu.

Dalam satu kenyataan, jurucakap FAS berkata: “FAS sudah berunding dengan Fandi selama beberapa bulan. Kami melihat Fandi sebagai seseorang yang terus memainkan peranan penting dalam bola sepak Singapura, namun masih terlalu awal untuk memberikan komen kerana rundingan kami masih diteruskan.

“Oleh itu, butiran-butiran kontrak masih harus dirahsiakan. Kami akan membuat pengumuman sebaik sahaja ada sesuatu yang sudah dimuktamadkan dan boleh diumumkan.”

Fandi, 54 tahun, yang kini berada di Indonesia, tidak dapat dihubungi untuk memberikan komen hari ini.

SUMBER: FAS TIDAK DAPAT CAPAI PERSETUJUAN DENGAN FANDI

Isu utama nampaknya tidak ada kaitan dengan kewangan, sebaliknya sumber-sumber mendedahkan bahawa FAS tidak dapat mencapai persetujuan dengan Fandi tentang peranannya di persatuan itu pada masa depan.

Dalam mesyuarat-mesyuarat sebelum ini sejak awal tahun ini, Fandi menyatakan peranan masa depan yang diingininya dan membentangkan rancangannya kepada FAS.

Dipercayai bahawa Jurulatih Terbaik Liga S Tahun 2000 itu mahu fokus terhadap membangunkan pemain-pemain muda. Terutamanya, beliau melahirkan minat membentuk satu pasukan yang layak ke Sukan Olimpik Tokyo 2020.

Namun, meskipun setelah berbulan-bulan berunding, tiada persetujuan dicapai.

FANDI DIKATAKAN PERTIMBANG TAWARAN DARI KELAB M’SIA

Kini, Fandi dikatakan sedang mempertimbangkan beberapa tawaran lumayan dari kelab-kelab bola sepak Malaysia. Beliau dikaitkan dengan jawatan ketua jurulatih di kelab Liga Super Malaysia di Pahang, di mana beliau memenangi Piala dan Liga Malaysia sebagai pemain pada 1992.

Beliau juga dikatakan mungkin kembali ke Johor sebagai jurulatih kelab Liga Premier Malaysia, Johor Darul Ta’zim II.

Langkah Fandi meninggalkan FAS mungkin akan menjejas persiapan pasukan negara menjelang Piala Suzuki AFF pada November ini.

Beliau sudah memegang jawatan sebagai penolong jurulatih Singa – pertama bagi warga Jerman, Bernd Stange dan kemudian penggantinya Sundram – sejak Jun tahun lalu.

Fandi amat popular dan dihormati oleh pasukan Singa, di mana beliau memainkan peranan penting dalam pembangunan pemain-pemain muda negara seperti Gabriel Quak, Madhu Mohana, Izwan Mahbud dan Faris Ramli.

Jika Fandi menyertai kelab Pahang, ia bukan kali pertama beliau akan menjadi jurulatih di kelab Malaysia.

Beliau pernah berkhidmat di Johor Darul Ta’zim pada 2012 dan 2013, sebelum kembali ke Singapura pada 2014 dan menerajui kelab yang kini sudah dibubarkan, LionsXII hingga menjulang Piala FA Malaysia setahun kemudian.

Pahang mencatat prestasi mengecewakan dalam Liga Super Malaysia musim ini, dengan pasukan pimpinan Razip Ismail menduduki tempat paling bawah dalam perlawanan 12 pasukan itu, dan hanya berjaya menang sebanyak tiga kali dalam 19 perlawanan sejauh ini.
