A SENTENCE RIGHTLY METED OUT AND JUSTLY DESERVED



These are the shocking and horrific pictures of Nirmala Bonat, the Indonesian maid who was tortured by her employer . On Thursday, the Kuala Lumpur Session Court, imposed an 18 years jail sentence on Nirma's former employer Yim Pek Ha. That sentence is rightly meted out and richly deserved. What an evil person Yim Pek Ha is !.

Some have opined that the 18 years sentence meted out to her is excessive. Now, those who suddenly find sympathy for the employer ought to first see these pictures. Spare a moment and imagine the pain the poor maid had undergone and the mental scars she will forever carry. In fact, do surf the net and you will find more horrific pictures of Nirmala Bonat injuries. Clearly, her employer not only abused her but worst she was tortured.


A maid is not a chattel or a slave that one by virtue of paying a monthly salary can then abuse and torture her.

Let the court's sentence in this case serve as a warning to other employers that they may face a similar fate should they abuse their maid.

  2. This Yim should not have been granted bail. She should begin her jail sentence pending her appeal.

    No pity should be given to her.
