in the spur of anger

Ng had tried making amends by giving Ms Weti S$12,800 as compensation for her pain, suffering and loss of income for being jobless for 13 months after the incident, "this does not detract from the gravity of the offences" Ng committed against a vulnerable victim.


She was taken to Changi General Hospital with injuries including two fractured fingers, swelling on both hands and bruises over her eyes.

Ng picked up a 45cm-long wooden scratcher and struck the maid once on the head. Ng continued to hit Ms Weti's head repeatedly, and the maid used her hands to cover her head, causing her fingers to be struck as well.


Soon after, Ng left for work while Ms Weti continued doing her chores, in pain and with swollen hands.
