A 37-year-old Indonesian domestic worker has been charged in court on Wednesday (15 February) with the murder of her 78-year-old employer in her living room of flat at Block 276, Tampines Street 22 on Monday (13 February) afternoon at around 2.10pm.
Minah had allegedly killed the elderly, Madam Tay Quee Lang, who was found dead with a knife wound on her neck.
She was dressed in black-and-white striped top when she attended the court.
Minah was represented by Mr Nasser Ismail who is appointed by the Indonesian embassy. The lawyer told reporters outside the court that he had only spoken briefly to Minah, adding that she was quite shocked by the incident.
Minah was the only person in the flat at the time of the incident. Her employer has been wheelchair-bound since last year after she experienced a fall. She lived in the flat with her husband Mr Tan Hee Seng, who is in his 70s. She has only been working for the family for the last month.
The Police said that when its officers arrived at the scene, the woman was lying motionless. The elderly suffered a knife wound on her neck. She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
The Police said that they received a call asking for their assistance at about 2.10pm on Monday. Minah was then taken away by the Police to assist them with investigations.
Minah will be remanded for psychiatric evaluation at Changi Women’s Prison and will return to court on 8 March.

散播不实指控视频 前进党一名党员被开除党籍

新加坡前进党开除一名党员Daniel Teo Weilong,后者被指散播含有不适和诽谤性的视频。 坊间流传一段视频,指控前进党已遭外国势力渗透,还点名十名党员,与外界两名非党员合作。其中本地网络媒体fathership.co还报导转载了有关视频。 Daniel Teo Weilong已向该党秘书长陈清木医生承认,有关视频是他制作的。 而前进党经过内部调查后,已决定开除这名36岁党员。 陈清木强调,该党需采取果断行动避免该党声誉因不实谣言和猜测而受损。该党珍视旗下党员,也期望党员共同维护前进党利益。 他指出:“该党不会容忍“任何损害该党信誉的行为。” 这也是前进党第二次开除党员。早前该党已开除Jan Chan,后者在脸书发布发布诋毁伊斯兰教和基督教的贴文。
