The Straits Times
Jail for mum, daughter

By Sujin Thomas

A MOTHER and her daughter took turns to abuse an Indonesian maid within three months of her starting work for them in their Pasir Ris flat.

Housewife Mazlinda Mohamed, 33, started it off - with a slap - in June last year because she deemed that the maid, Miss Tita Julita, 27, had not cleaned a bathroom sink properly.

A day later, Mazlinda kicked Miss Tita twice on her back while she was cleaning the sink again.
